·Dolomite is an anhydrous rock that resists weathering well and has a variety of compositions depending on where it is found Dolomite being extracted from the mining while dolomite powder DP emerges as industrial waste primarily from the pulverization and processing of dolomite rock during extraction and production processes
A sedimentary carbonate rock consisting primarily of the mineral dolomite is also known as a dolostone rock or dolostone rock type The word "dolostone" is often used to refer to the dolomitic rock type Dolomite is a type of limestone in which the mineral dolomite calcium magnesium carbonate [CaMg CO 3 2] dominates the carbonate fraction

·Diatomite also known as diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring soft siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off white powder It is composed of the microscopic remains of diatoms which are single celled algae with skeletons made of silica These skeletons accumulate over time forming deposits of
Dolomite or dolostone is a carbonate sedimentary rock containing more than 50% by weight of the mineral rock may contain calcite but the content of calcite should not exceed 10% of the calcite dolomite pair s content Dolomite in Northern Norway Trollholmsund which was once chalk but the original material has been replaced with
