Description

Dolomite is a common carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, CaMg(CO3)2. It is typically found in sedimentary rocks and is formed through various processes including precipitation from seawater, alteration of other carbonates, and diagenetic reactions. Dolomite is an important component of many geological formations and plays a role in carbon sequestration. It is also used in various industries, such as agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. Dolomite is studied for its role in geological processes, its potential for carbon storage, and its applications in various industries.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Dolomite is a double salt composed of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. It is a natural mineral of great industrial and commercial importance. Millions of workers are at risk of occupational exposure.

Treatment

Dolomite was treated at 800 °C (D800) and used in the adsorptive removal of catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) from aqueous solutions. Treatment resulted in significantly decreased incidences of unossified xiphisternum, incomplete ossification of xiph isternum and sternebrae.
