Limestone
Limestone used in seawater re-mineralization
We offer limestone that is used in architecture as it can be cut and carved. It is preferred by most of the people as it lasts long and does well in all climatic conditions. One of the most commonly used operations in the re-mineralization process is to be able to contact CO2 acidified desalinated water with a bed of domestic limestone. Limestone dissolution offers two significant gradients to the water. This is bicarbonate alkalinity, as well as calcium content
What is limestone?
Limestone is greatly used in architecture as it is easily obtained, cut and carved. Limestone rocks contain flint, clay, sand and calcite in varying amounts. It is also preferred by most of the people in architecture and decoration, as it is long lasting and does well in every climatic condition. Calcareous sedimentary rocks are known as limestone and they are composed of the mineral calcite. When calciteâ??s calcination is done, it gives lime as a product. In nature, limestone is available in various purity levels, depending upon the other minerals present with it. For example, if some limestone is present with more than 10% of dolomite, it is called as dolomite limestone and same goes for magnesium limestone too. When limestone is recrystallised and polished, it becomes a decorative and building stone called â??marbleâ??. Limestone has been given different names depending upon its texture, mode of occurrence and foraminifera remains, etc. Limestone is a soft and porous stone which is usually composed of tiny fossils and bits of shells, which are easily visible. It is an oft-mined rock, commonly used in a number of applications. As such, much against the popular belief, the use of limestone is not restricted to only architecture.

What is color of limestone?
Limestone always white color
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of the mineral calcite. It often contains other minerals, such as clay, dolomite, and silic Appearance: Limestone can vary in color from white and gray to tan, brown, and even black. Its appearance can be influenced by impurities, organic materials, and the type of minerals present. Uses: Construction: Limestone is widely used as a building material for flooring, walls, and facades due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Industry: It is used in various industries, such as cement production, where it serves as a key ingredient in the manufacturing of Portland cement. Agriculture: Limestone is used to improve soil quality by neutralizing acidity, providing essential nutrients like calcium, and promoting plant growth. Chemical Industry: It is used in the production of lime, which has applications in various chemical processes.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed principally of calcium carbonate (calcite) or the double carbonate of calcium and magnesium (dolomite). It is commonly composed of tiny fossils, shell fragments and other fossilized debris.
