Product Description

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in the form of the mineral calcite or aragonite. It often contains small amounts of other materials such as clay, silt, and organic matter. Limestone forms in marine environments through the accumulation of shells, coral, algae, and other calcium-rich organisms over millions of years. It can also form in freshwater environments like caves and lakes.

Limestone has many practical uses due to its durability and versatility. Some common uses include:

1. Construction: Limestone is widely used as a building material for walls, floors, and other architectural elements due to its strength and aesthetic appeal.

2. Agriculture: Crushed limestone is used to neutralize soil acidity and provide calcium for plant growth. It is also used in the production of fertilizers and animal feed supplements.

3. Industry: Limestone is used in various industrial processes, such as in the production of cement, glass, steel, and lime (calcium oxide). It is also used as a filler in paper, paint, plastics, and other products.

4. Environmental applications: Limestone is used in water treatment to remove impurities and adjust pH levels. It is also used in flue gas desulfurization to reduce emissions from power plants and industrial facilities.
