Dolomite Mining Market Research Report, 2020

With the rapid increase in the construction and mining activities for dolomite, the market for dolomite mining and equipments has the potential to exhibit significant growth in the future. According to Mineral planning factsheet, out of a total of 12.2 Million tons of Dolomite mined in the United Kingdom, around 10.8 Million tons is used in the construction industry. Nearly 50 % of world’s carbonate reserves are in dolomite and these dolomite reserves can also host a significant amount of hydrocarbons. Hence with an abundance of reserves, diverse applications and easy mining procedures, dolomite mining activities can increase significantly in the near future. Dolomite can also serve as the source of magnesium, whose demand is increasing at the rate of around 3% per year according to the magnesium investing news.

Segmentation of the dolomite mining market can be done on the basis of technology, crystal structure, applications and location of mines. Dolomite is extracted by surface quarrying using drilling and blasting techniques. A quarry is a form of open pit mine from which minerals are extracted. Surface quarrying is also sometimes referred to as open pit mining or strip mining.

Depending upon the crystal structure dolomite can be classified as planar-e, planar-s type and non planar dolomite. Planar-e dolomite is commonly referred to as euhedral dolomite while planar-s dolomite is referred to as subhedral dolomite. Planar-e type dolomite contains uniform throat sizes and a well an interconnected pore system while planar-s type dolomite does not have these qualities. Non planar dolomite occurs in the subsurface, at temperatures of more than 50 degree centigrade.

Dolomite as a mineral has very few uses. However, dolostone (dolomite rock) is widely used in the construction industry. Dolostone is crushed and sized for use as a base material for road...
