Industrial dolomite

Industrial dolomite double calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO₃)₂ is a versatile mineral with dolomite industrial applications across sectors. Known as dolomite for industry, it plays a significant role in manufacturing and production processes.

Industrial dolomite, also known as double calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO₃)₂, offers remarkable versatility that enhances its value across multiple sectors. As a leading dolomite for industry and dolomite for steelmaking, this high-purity dolomite mineral not only improves production efficiency but also contributes to reduced environmental impact, driving sustainable industrial practices worldwide. Its pure and stable chemical composition makes it indispensable in various industries and production lines.

Among its key dolomite industrial applications are:

  • Neutralizing acidic flue gases
  • Clarification in winemaking
  • Flocculation and thickening in water and sludge treatment
  • Fundamental raw material for fertilizers and inorganic binders, such as Sorel cement
  • Antacid and pharmaceutical co-formulant, including effervescent products
  • Dietary calcium and magnesium supplement for human and animal nutrition
  • Filler and mineral load for rubber, plastics, paper, and other insulating and bituminous materials
  • Additive in water-based paints, detergents, toothpastes, inks, and various coatings

It is also used in the production of fiberglass, ceramics, glass, and refractory and fire-resistant materials. Peroglio’s high-purity dolomite, backed by FAMI-QS certification, guarantees superior quality for animal nutrition, food, and pharmaceutical applications.

Where and how is industrial dolomite used?

In the steel industry, industrial dolomite is used as a desulfurization agent and refractory lining material in converters. This mineral reacts with impurities in pig iron, such as phosphorus and sulfur, helping purify the metal and make it suitable for dolomite for steelmaking and high-quality steel production. It also plays a key role in reducing environmental impacts in steelmaking processes.

In the pharmaceutical industry, high-purity dolomite serves as an antacid and tablet co-formulant, providing therapeutic support and effervescence. In the food industry, double calcium magnesium carbonate is used to enhance the texture and stability of products like milk powder, spreads, cheeses, and other dairy items. Its pH-regulating properties help stabilize formulations, improve texture, and extend shelf life.

In the animal nutrition sector, dolomite is added to diets as a pH corrector, helping reduce gastric acidity issues in livestock and improving nutrient absorption. The mineral is also widely employed in the glass production industry, where it lowers melting temperatures and enhances chemical stability, leading to reduced energy costs and CO₂ emissions key dolomite industrial applications for sustainable manufacturing.

Dolomite plays a vital role in water treatment processes, where it adjusts pH and removes heavy metals, purifying drinking water and minimizing wastewater pollution. For fertilizer production in agriculture, dolomite for industry is a core ingredient in calcium-magnesium fertilizers that improve soil health and plant growth while reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals.
