Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that is often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, foraminifera, and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). A closely related rock is dolomite, which contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2. In old USGS publications, dolomite was referred to as magnesian limestone, a term now reserved for magnesium-deficient dolomites or magnesium-rich limestones.
Uses:
-Raw material for the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), cement and mortar.
-As a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soils (agricultural lime).
-Is crushed for use as aggregate—the solid base for many roads as well as in asphalt concrete.
-Geological formations of limestone are among the best petroleum reservoirs;
-As a reagent in flue-gas desulfurization, it reacts with sulfur dioxide for air pollution control.
-Glass making, in some circumstances, uses limestone.
-It can suppress methane explosions in underground coal mines.
-Purified, it is added to bread and cereals as a source of calcium.
-Calcium levels in livestock feed are supplemented with it, such as for poultry.
-It can be used for remineralizing and increasing the alkalinity of purified water to prevent pipe corrosion and to restore essential nutrient levels.
-Used in blast furnaces, limestone binds with silica and other impurities to remove them from the iron.
