What are some common uses of dolomite? I am really confused. I am into minerals.
confident you are able to replace the gasket via its self, yet its no longer pronounced which you do this, explanation why is tranny fluid can get in to the administration module for the transmission and reason problems with it,those often do no longer provide any issues, yet I even have replaced in basic terms the gasket on some and that they did artwork ok,that decision is as much as you,all its going to cost you is the value of the gasket to confirm if it don,t artwork you,ll in basic terms might desire to pay me double the labor to alter it the module the 2d time,good success.
i would take it to a transmission shop they would be able to check it for free !
Dolomite (pronounced /?d?l?ma?t/) is the name of a sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral, both composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2 found in crystals. Dolomite rock (also dolostone) is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite. Limestone that is partially replaced by dolomite is referred to as dolomitic limestone, or in old U.S. geologic literature as magnesian limestone. Dolomite was first described in 1791 as the rock by the French naturalist and geologist, Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (1750–1801) for exposures in the Dolomite Alps of northern Italy. See link below:
Dolomite is frequently used for the same things that limestone is used for. Crushed stone is used as aggregate, as gravel for building purposes (roadbeds, understructure for foundations, that sort of thing) and in the production of concrete (it would be the stony part of the concrete). The dolomite may also be used to make CaO and MgO for chemical use (and thus may also be a base for the cement part of the concrete). I imagine the dolomite industry has a webpage on this, explaining its many uses.
Dolomite, which is named for the French mineralogist Deodat de Dolomieu, is a common sedimentary rock-forming mineral that can be found in massive beds several hundred feet thick. They are found all over the world and are quite common in sedimentary rock sequences. Disputes have arisen as to how these dolomite beds formed and the debate has been called the Dolomite Problem. Dolomite at present time, does not form on the surface of the earth; yet massive layers of dolomite can be found in ancient rocks. That is quite a problem for sedimentologists who see sandstones, shales and limestones formed today almost before their eyes. Why no dolomite? Well there are no good simple answers, but it appears that dolomite rock is one of the few sedimentary rocks that undergoes a significant mineralogical change after it is deposited. They are originally deposited as calcite/aragonite rich limestones, but during a process call diagenesis the calcite and/or aragonite is altered to dolomite. Dolomite is chiefly used as refractory, ramming, and fettling material in steel melting shop, and as fluxing material in blast furnace operation in secondary steel and ferromanganese manufacture. To a lesser extent it is used in the glass industry especially in sheet-glass manufacture. It also finds use in the manufacture of mineral wool.
