Calcined Dolomite

Calcined dolomite is produced by heating natural dolomite (CaMg(CO₃)₂) at elevated temperatures (typically 900°C–1200°C), causing thermal decomposition:

  • CaMg(CO₃)₂ → CaO + MgO + CO₂↑

The result is a highly reactive blend of calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) with enhanced basicity and fluxing ability.

What is Calcined Dolomite? Thermally Activated Dolomite

Calcined dolomite is produced by heating natural dolomite (CaMg(CO₃)₂) at elevated temperatures (typically 900°C–1200°C), causing thermal decomposition:

  • CaMg(CO₃)₂ → CaO + MgO + CO₂↑

The result is a highly reactive blend of calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) with enhanced basicity and fluxing ability.

Key Physical & Chemical Properties

  • High Reactivity (LCD grades)
  • High Basicity (alkaline behavior)
  • Rich in CaO and MgO
  • Low LOI after calcination
  • Excellent fluxing capacity
  • Thermal stability at high temperatures
  • Low silica and iron impurities

These traits make calcined dolomite essential where chemistry and heat intersect.
