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.
