Materials and methods. Dolomite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and mag-nesium carbonate (MgCO3), theoretically in a portion 1:1 of their molecules, CaMg(CO3)2. The ...

In addition, in the calcination stage, the energy consumption of the VCTRM process has been significantly reduced (0.396 tce vs. 1.529 tce of the Pidgeon process) as shown in Table 6, which is linked with (i) the less demand of ore (4.325 t of magnesite vs. 10.335 t of dolomite) and (ii) lower calcination temperature (1023–1123 K vs. 1323 ...

Marcin Szczepanski. Although dolomite is relatively plentiful in rocks older than 100 million years, scientists have been unable to replicate the geologic process in …

Dolomite as an economical calcareous material can be used as a soil amendment to remediate acidic soil ( Shaaban et al., 2017 ). Dolomite can react with H + in the soil to release CO 2, and, thereby, improve acidic soil and increase the pH ( …

Due to the continued Mg 2+ loss during advanced stage of the dolomitization process, the dolomitizing fluid will approach the dolomite–calcite–water three-phase equilibrium and pass a kinetic threshold below which dolomite precipitation is significantly limited while dissolution rates of calcite remain relatively rapid (Machel, 2004 ...

Conclusion. The gas-solid carbonation of lime formed during the thermal treatment of dolomite has an activation energy of 4007 kJ mol −1. This value is higher than the value determined for the process of non-isothermal decomposition of calcium carbonate (3339 kJ mol −1 ).

Dolomite is a mineral and a rock-forming mineral that is composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2). It is named after the French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu, who first described its properties in the late 18th century. Dolomite is often found in sedimentary rock formations and can occur in a variety of …

The best-performing SSPCM contained 30 wt% 800Do, offering a thermal conductivity of 1.27 W/ (m·K) and thermal energy storage density of 359 kJ/kg in the …

The free energy differences due to order–disorder is sizeable, and there may be a more than 1.3 kcal/mol difference in ∆ f G° (25 °C, 1 atm) between ordered dolomite and disordered dolomite [7,17,71], which indicates a significant difference of 1.5 orders of magnitude in the solubility constant of dolomite in standard state only due to ...

What are the natural processes that lead to the characteristic Mg–Ca order in the dolomite structure? These important geological questions have captivated the …

The creation of dolomite is a fairly unique process, especially when compared to other sedimentary rocks. Dolomite is formed when the calcium in limestone is gradually replaced by magnesium. Magnesium-bearing water filters through limestone and replaces about half of the calcium in limestone, turning it into calcium-magnesium carbonate (the ...

The phosphate ore flotation is achieved through the surface electrical behavior difference among apatite, dolomite and quartz, but it is usually affected by the dissolved ions from pulp ...

The energy balance of a rotary kiln used for calcination of dolomite in a magnesium production company identified the kiln shell (26.35% of the input energy) and exhaust gases (18.95%) as the ...

The Dolomite Problem. The question of how the mineral dolomite, occurring in sedimentary rocks throughout the Earth, was created in large quantities has concerned the geology for over 200 years now – with only moderate success in explaining it. Dolomite was identified in 1791 by the French mineralogist Déodat de Dolomieu (1750-1801).

In this paper, the effects of hydration activity of calcined dolomite (HCD) on silicothermic reduction process were studied. A series of experiments were carried out on a single briquette to investigate the impact of different HCD on the chemical reaction kinetics of the silicothermic reduction process. This study was the first to experimentally show …

Normally, more than 60% of the energy consumed during the production of lime and dolomite is consumed during the calcination process, as the total of sensible and reaction heat (Sagastume Gutiérrez et al., 2012).Mostly fossil fuel is used as heat provider, although the application of renewable energy carriers (woody biomass, plastic solid …

The system contains three main chemical processes: formation of magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, the reaction of magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide, and …

Abstract. Thermochemical equilibrium calculations indicate the possibility of considerable fuel savings and CO{sub 2} emission avoidance in the three steps of the Pidgeon process: (a) calcination of dolomite; (b) production of ferrosilicon from quartz sand, coal, and iron oxide; (c) silicothermic reduction of calcined dolomite by ferrosilicon …

Step 1: Turn Large stones into small stones. Transport the bulk dolomite raw material into the jaw crusher by the vibrating feeder for the coarse crushing process, and then send it to the cone crusher for medium to fine crushing processing until it reaches the feed fineness of the grinding machine (15-40mm) before discharge.. Step 2: Grind …

Similar bulk energy changes (ΔE) during dolomitization process were calculated based on the DFT simulation in two substitution methods shown in Section 3.2, i.e. ΔE increased by 13.818 and 13.810 eV when Ca atom was replaced by Mg atom in BE and OE models (Fig. 5 a and b), respectively, further indicating that the formation of …

Dolomite is an anhydrous carbonate mineral. It is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium (CaCO3.MgCO3). It is one of the important raw materials used in production of iron and steel. Dolomite contains theoretically 54.35 % of CaCO3 and 45.65 % of MgCO3 or 30.41 % of CaO, 21.86 % of MgO, and 47.73 % of CO2.

Dolomites are carbonate rocks mainly composed of the mineral dolomite. The mineral is stable in seawater in nature and not known examples of its direct extraction from seawater in large quantities required for origin of dolomite rocks. Dolomite occurs by suppression of aragonite or calcite, i.e. dolomitization process.

The authors used density function theory (electronic structure calculations used to compute a variety of properties) and kinetic Monte Carlo crystal growth …

Dolomite can act both as a CO 2 adsorbent and a deoxygenation catalyst ( Prabhakara et al., 2021 ). Different types of dolomite are used as catalysts for biomass gasification and those with a high content of Fe 2 O 3 and big pore size can yield a high amount of syngas with a high energy value ( Ren et al., 2019 ).

The absorption process using dolomite can reach the equilibrium state in about 6 hr. ... In fact, modification of dolomite can reduce energy consumption dramatically. The other result was the better performance of phosphate groups on the time reduction than the polyacrylamide. Besides, the pseudo-first-order relation had the …
