Metallurgical limestone, also known as metgrade limestone, is a sedimentary rock, which contains calcium and magnesium carbonate. The percentage of calcium carbonate is about 54.35% and magnesium carbonate is about 45.65%. This composition of calcium and magnesium carbonate may vary depending on the deposits. Deposits that contain 10% more calcium carbonate over the theoretical composition are termed calcitic dolomite or high-calcium dolomite. Deposits that are characterized by decreased percentage of magnesium carbonate are called dolomitic limestone. The deposits that contain only 5-10% of magnesium carbonate are called magnesian limestones. Widely used in.
Metallurgical limestone is used as flux in steel industry and increase in its usage in construction, medical, agricultural, and various other industries drive the growth of the market. Moreover, increase in the demand for steel has fueled the demand for metallurgical limestone. However, the cost of extraction of the minerals is high, which hinders the market growth.
The metallurgical limestone market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and geography. By type, the market is categorized into calcitic dolomite/high-calcium dolomite, dolomitic limestone, magnesian limestones, and others. Based on application, it is classified into construction industry, medical industry, agricultural, and others. Geographically, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
