Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Many limestones are composed from skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera.

Limestone makes up about 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes, in which water erodes the limestone over thousands to millions of years. Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock. Contact with me via skype:gary102884 if want to use mining machinery to produce lime.

Limestone has numerous uses: as a building material, as aggregate for the base of roads, as white pigment or filler in products such as toothpaste or paints, and as a chemical feedstock.

Before using limestone, we need to use limestone crushing Plant for crushing into powder, then used in construction, industry, etc. Or using our rotary kiln for producing quick-lime.

Usage:

1 It is the raw material for the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), cement and mortar.

2 Pulverized limestone is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soils.

3 It is crushed for use as aggregate—the solid base for many roads.

4 Geological formations of limestone are among the best petroleum reservoirs;

5 As a reagent in flue-gas desulfurization, it reacts with sulfur dioxide for air pollution control.

6 Glass making, in some circumstances, uses limestone.

8 It is added to toothpaste, paper, plastics, paint, tiles, and other materials as both white pigment and a cheap filler.

9 It can suppress methane explosions in underground coal mines.

10 Purified, it is added to bread and cereals as a source of calcium.

11 Calcium levels in livestock feed are supplemented with it, such as for poultry (when ground up).

12 It can be used for remineralizing and increasing the alkalinity of purified water to prevent pipe corrosion and to restore essential nutrient levels.
