Calcined dolomite

What is calcined dolomite?

Calcined dolomite is calcium oxide (cao) and magnesium oxide (mgo), obtained by heating dolomite ore caco3, mgco3 in horizontal and vertical furnaces. mgo and cao are formed completely separately from each other and have no solubility in each other and no phase is formed between them. Calcined dolomite is obtained by heating dolomite stone at a temperature of 800 to 1100 degrees Celsius so that it lasts at least 2-4 hours at an average temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius.  Calcined dolomite and slaked  lime can be slaked  and processed at different times in the furnace according to their material and grade.

Definition of calcination

Calcination simply means leaving the material in the furnace for a certain time at a certain temperature so that a series of substances inside it are eliminated. When the dolomite stone is placed in special furnaces with high heat, it is referred as calcined dolomite.

Granulation of calcined dolomite

  • 0-15 mm
  • 5-15 mm
  • 20-50 mm
  • 20-60 mm

Applications of calcined dolomite

Dolomite application in iron production

Among the applications of this material in iron production process through the blast furnace (BF) in the baking process or as direct feed is added to the furnace  and both raw dolomite and calcined dolomite are used.

Dolomite as a lubricant in steelmaking

In its first role, it acts as a source of some lime (CaO); consequently , it reduces the consumption of calcined lime, and in its second role, it is used to protect the carbon magnesite covering of the steelmaking tank.

Application in dairy farming

 Isfahan slaked  dolomite contains high amounts of calcium and magnesium. Therefore it is considered an important components in animal feed. It can lubricate feed and dry fodder. additionally, calcined dolomite color enhances the appetite of the livestock.

Application in water and wastewater treatment

Dolomite is also used in water and wastewater treatment. Slaked  dolomite has the ability to deposit ammonium and phosphate in agricultural, urban and industrial wastewater. It is also important to mention that the deposited ammonium and phosphate can be used in agricultural fertilizers.

Application in glass and ceramics

Dolomite is also used as a raw material for to produce glass and ceramics.

Application in biofuel production

This is a new application of calcined dolomite.  People who work in biofuel production buy calcined dolomite and use it as a catalyst in the biofuel production process. Biogas is one of the biofuels produced through the fermentation of wastewater. Researchers in this field use slaked lime to purify the produced raw gas.

Calcined dolomite in nature

Most dolomites are white and gray. The rocks with dolomite are called dolomite or dolomitic limestone. Carbonate minerals include calcite and dolomite. Perhaps limestone and dolomite are the most useful minerals. Because of to their physical properties, carbonate rocks form the basic foundation of the construction materials industry.
