Dolomite powder is a common rock-forming mineral with a composition of calcium magnesium carbonate. Its chemical formula is denoted as CaMg(CO3)2.
Its whiteness and purity are two important factors that make it a raw material for the paint industry. Further, its hardness and density makes dolomite powder a vital ingredient in the construction industry.
Dolomite is the second most abundantly found carbonate mineral. It exists as the primary component of sedimentary and metamorphic rock. It is also commonly found in hydrothermal deposits.
Dolomite is the primary ore for magnesium metal and is quarried for building material, road stone, or refractory brick production.
