What is Dolomite?

Dolomite marble is a term used to define both the mineral CaMg(CO₃)₂ and the rocks in which this mineral is the main component. The rocks formed by dolomite minerals are also called dolostone. These rocks are formed not by the direct chemical precipitation of dolomite, but by the interaction of limestone with magnesium-rich waters. In semi-enclosed environments separated by elevation from the sea, excessive evaporation causes an enrichment of magnesium in the surrounding water, which then interacts with the calcite mud that has settled at the bottom. This transformation results in the formation of dolomite.

Usage Areas of Dolomitic Marble

Dolomite's unique physical and chemical composition makes it an invaluable resource with over 30 distinct applications. Its use as a construction material, particularly in roadways and railways, is well established. However, its versatility extends beyond these traditional applications. When its chemical characteristics are taken into consideration, its potential for use in a vast range of industrial and manufacturing processes becomes apparent. Dolomite is used extensively in various industrial sectors. Its magnesium oxide (MgO) content enables it to be employed in agriculture, as a fertilizer, in soil conditioning, and as a filler in the chemical industry, where it is especially important in paint production. It can also be used as a raw material in the brick, cement, and glass industries, and in the manufacture of soda. Its physical properties make it a highly sought-after material in the metallurgy industry and the construction sector as well. Dolomite used for facade cladding does not require special maintenance due to its resistance to climatic changes and high abrasion resistance.
