Dolomite For Steel

Dolomite is a mineral that is usually found in dolostone deposits, which are sedimentary rocks. Its applications are driven by the intrinsic distinctions between dolomite and calcite It is a versatile mineral that is used across several industries such as construction, agriculture, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, paints, plastics, rubber and refractories to mention a few. The physical properties of dolomite are its soft to medium hardness with a value of 3 and 4 on the Mohs scale and the pearly luster. Dolomite is used as a source of magnesium in ceramic, glass, cement and pharmaceutical sectors. In the Iron and steel industries, dolomite is massively used because of its strength and compatibility in purifying iron and steel. For construction and building materials, it is used as a substitute for lime. Sodium triphosphate (STP), also sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), or tripolyphosphate (TPP), is an inorganic compound with formula Na5P3O10. The burnt dolomite is used in refractories, as a sintering agent in the palletization of iron ore and as a flux agent in the production of steel. Paints, plastics, rubber, soaps, and detergents sectors use it as filler in their manufacturing processes. Farmers use dolomite to adjust the pH of their crops. It is also used in the chemical industry to make magnesium salts such as magnesia and magnesium oxide (MgO), which is further utilised in pharmaceuticals. The distinguishing characteristics of our natural dolomite are: High purity grade along with whiteness. Our Dolomite has high compressive and shear strength. It also has the wet ability and fire-resistant. The strength of our mineral dolomite is its long life and rigidity. The structure of dolomite is like that of calcite, except every other cation layer contains magnesium ions instead of calcium ions. But, if we compare dolomite to calcite, its usage will be less prevalent within the industries. This is because of the lack of brightness in the dolomite mineral. We provide cutting-edge and high grade dolomite minerals that can be used in a variety of applications. In order to meet all diverse demands, we can add additional refining operations to our standard dolomite mineral production to suit the bespoke requirements of various sectors and industries.

Features Of Dolomite Dolostone is the main source of the mineral dolomite. It is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate. It is used as an ornament stone, construction aggregate and main source of magnesium oxide. Applications Steel industry Refractory Glass Ceramics

Dolomite mineral is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium and it exhibits a granular structure. It has high natural whiteness and it's noted for their ease of dispersion. Its use improves properties such as weather ability, reduces shrinkage, fissure development and water absorption. Natural Dolomite Powder is of White Colour and is used as Filler in many applications such as Soap & Detergent, Paints, Ceramics and many other Industries. Applications: - Soap & Detergent Leather Cloth Industry Cable Industries Rigid PVC Pipes Iron, Steel, and Ferro-Alloys Industries Paints, Inks, Powder Coating Ceramic Industry Rubber Industry Glass Industry Available Mesh Size: - 100 TO 700 MESH Custom sizes and Material of required specifications can be made in case of Bulk and Regular orders.

Dolomite as a mineral has very few uses the most common is in the construction industry. It is crushed and sized for use as a road base material, an aggregate in concrete and asphalt, railroad ballast, glass industry also used as refractory, ramming, and fettling material in steel melting shop, and as fluxing material in blast furnace. GS are one of the major Dolomite producers in Egypt, our Dolomite is characterized by moderate percent of MgO (20 -25%), and up to 28-30% for glass manufacturing We can supply Dolomite in lumps or powder form, as per the required micron size, and by any quantities, packages and sizes
