Dolomite is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, ideally CaMg(CO3)2. The term is also used for a sedimentary carbonate rock composed mostly of the mineral dolomite. An alternative name sometimes used for the dolomitic rock type is dolostone.

Uses
Dolomite is used as an ornamental stone, a concrete aggregate, and a source of magnesium oxide, as well as in the Pidgeon process for the production of magnesium. It is an important petroleum reservoir rock and serves as the host rock for large strata-bound Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) ore deposits of base metals such as lead, zinc, and copper. Where calcite limestone is uncommon or too costly, dolomite is sometimes used in its place as a flux for the smelting of iron and steel. Large quantities of processed dolomite are used in the production of float glass.
In horticulture, dolomite and dolomitic limestone are added to soils, and soilless potting mixes as a pH buffer and as a magnesium source.
Dolomite is also used as the substrate in marine (saltwater) aquariums to help buffer changes in the pH of the water.
Calcined dolomite is also used as a catalyst for the destruction of tar in the gasification of biomass at high temperatures. Particle physics researchers like to build particle detectors under layers of dolomite to enable the detectors to detect the highest possible number of exotic particles. Because dolomite contains relatively minor quantities of radioactive materials, it can insulate against interference from cosmic rays without adding to background radiation levels.
In addition to being an industrial mineral, dolomite is highly valued by collectors and museums when it forms large, transparent crystals. The specimens that appear in the magnesite quarry exploited in Eugui, Esteribar, Navarra (Spain) are considered among the best in the world.
Applications:
1. Acid neutralization in the chemical industry, in-stream restoration projects.
2. Feed additive for livestock.
3. Soil conditioner or pH buffer in horticulture.
4. Source of magnesia (MgO).
5. Sintering agent and flux in metal processing.
6. Glaze ingredients in the ceramic industry and in studio pottery.
7. Catalyst for the destruction of tar in the gasification of biomass at high temperature.
8. Popular choice for motorcycle speedway tracks throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Dolomite is a carbonate mineral, respectively iron dolomite, and manganese dolomite. Its crystalline structure resembles calcite, often rhombohedral. When cold dilute hydrochloric acid will slowly bubble. Some dolomites glow orange under cathode rays. Dolomite is the main mineral composition of dolomite and dolomite limestone. It is mainly used as a flux for basic refractory and iron smelting in a blast furnace. Calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer and magnesium sulfate; And the production of glass and ceramic ingredients.
Dolomite can be used as refractory inner layer, slag making agent, cement raw material, glass flux, kiln industry, fertilizer, building and decoration stone material, paint, insecticide, and medicine of reformer used in steelmaking. Can be used in building materials, ceramics, glass and refractory materials, chemical and agricultural, environmental protection, energy conservation, and other fields.
