Dolomite Powder

DOLOMITE Powder

Dolomite Powder is a finely ground natural mineral composed primarily of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO₃)₂). It is widely used in agriculture, construction, metallurgy, water treatment, and industrial applications due to its high neutralizing value and balanced calcium–magnesium content.

Chemical Specification (Laboratory Tested)

Parameter

MgO (Magnesium Oxide) = 23.25 %
CaO (Calcium Oxide) = 31.42 %
Neutralizing Value (as CaCO₃ Equivalent) = 136.47 %

A neutralizing value above 100% indicates superior acid-neutralizing capacity compared to pure CaCO₃ standard.

Interpretation of Chemical Properties

A. Magnesium Oxide (MgO) – 23.25%

Supplies essential magnesium for plant chlorophyll formation
Improves crop yield and nutrient absorption
Critical for acidic and magnesium-deficient soils

B. Calcium Oxide (CaO) – 31.42%

Enhances soil structure and root development
Improves cation exchange capacity (CEC)
Reduces aluminum toxicity in acidic soils

C. Neutralizing Value (CCE 136.47%)

Very high acid-neutralizing efficiency
Rapid pH correction
Lower dosage required compared to standard limestone
