Many different mineral commodities are important to modern society. However, when mineralogists think about mining, they are generally thinking of ore minerals that are the sources of important metals, or of minerals that have specific, highly valued properties (e.g., asbestos, micas, potash, and gems of all sorts).That is what we will focus on in most of …

Complex and non-sulfide lead–zinc ores are difficult to concentrate, but the growing demand for lead and zinc metals necessitated their beneficiation. Froth flotation is practically the most effective method in their beneficiation when optimum flotation conditions are attained. The aim of the current study is to use process mineralogy as a tool to …
The H8 dolomite marble is not part of the Bayan Obo Group. The ore-bearing dolomite carbonatites are magnesio-carbonatite or ferro-carbonatite and are chemically different from sedimentary limestone and dolostone. The dolomite carbonatites formed from fractional crystallization of an evolved. Conflict of interest
The Bureau of Mines, US Department of the Interior, conducted studies to recover phosphate from four dolomitic southern Florida deposits not currently mined. The samples contained 5.8–10.2% P2O5 and 1.7–4.8% MgO. Chemical analyses of sized fractions indicated that no pebble concentrate, +1.2 mm (+ 14 mesh) could be produced from …
Dolomite is an important petroleum reservoir, and occurs as a gangue mineral with lead–zinc sulphide ores (see Mining Geology: Hydrothermal Ores). It is described …
In industry, dolomite is an important source for magnesium and calcium metals, and is used as a flux for metallurgy. A flux is a material that melts easily and can be used to remove impurities from metal ores or to make …
For rocks also see dolostone. Progressive dissolution– (re)crystallization reactions, leading to Ca-Mg cation ordering, are suspected to be responsible for Phanerozoic abundance …
The chemical composition of direct-ship and beneficiated iron ores can be divided into high-grade hematite ores, with 64–67% Fe and low SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3, largely from Brazil and West Africa (e.g., Simandou); a number of Australian and other iron ores with ~ 60–62% Fe; high-LOI martite-goethite Australian ores; and high-LOI Australian …

Dolomite Mining. The mining of dolomite is the process that is involved in separating the concentrates of this mineral from raw ores. Dolomitic limestone is mined together with limestone and dolomite, which are crushed thereafter and used as stones aggregates for manufacturing concrete and pavement used in construction.
The results of bench-scale testing of five flotation processes for the separation of dolomite from phosphate are discussed. Each process is compared in terms of phosphate recovery, MgO content of the concentrate and reagent consumption. Water quality was found to play a major role in the performance of these processes. The effect …

Originally reported from Brosso Mine, Cálea, Léssolo, Canavese District, Torino Province, Piedmont, Italy. Cobalt-bearing Dolomite: A Co 2+-bearing variety of dolomite. Samples from Příbram, Czech Republic, contain 5.17% CoO. Greinerite: A manganoan variety of dolomite, but probably only a dolomite with a faint manganese content.
Dolomite is an objectionable impurity in phosphate ores, due to its MgO content. Even though dolomite and apatite liberate at a coarse size, the very similar densities of dolomite and apatite makes density separations difficult. However, if operated correctly, jigging can be a very efficient process. This has led to the development of a …
