Dolomite has shown broad application prospects in environmental protection, refractory materials, ceramics, and other fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties, rich resource reserves, and diverse processing methods.

1. Metallurgical refractory field

Dolomite is an important raw material for alkaline refractory materials. Its high temperature stability and slag resistance make dolomite bricks a key material for improving the life of furnaces. At the same time, dolomite can also be used as a flux for ironmaking and steelmaking to improve slag performance and smelting efficiency.

2. Chemical field

Dolomite is an important raw material for the production of chemical products such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide, and magnesium sulfate.

3. Building materials field

Dolomite can be used to produce building materials such as cement, glass, and ceramics. In cement production, dolomite is one of the raw materials, which helps to improve the hardening performance and durability of cement.

4. Ceramic field

Introducing dolomite into ceramic blanks and glazes can change the composition of the mixing system, reduce the firing temperature of the blank, promote the dissolution of quartz and the formation of mullite, thereby improving the transparency and strength of ceramics.

5. Environmental field

Dolomite has surface adsorption, pore filtering and ion exchange between mineral layers, and can be used as an environmental mineral material in wastewater treatment and other fields.

6. Glass field

Introducing dolomite into glass raw materials can provide magnesium oxide and calcium oxide components, which helps to reduce production costs and improve the strength and chemical stability of glass.
