Steelmaking

Why the magnesium in dolomite protects your steel shop's refractory

In the steel shop, lime is not just a flux: the dolomitic fraction saturates the slag with MgO and reduces refractory-lining wear. Understand the mechanism and why magnesium content weighs more on total cost than the silica figure on the assay.

Dolomitic lime in juice clarification: the role of magnesium that calcitic lime lacks

In liming, the choice between calcitic and dolomitic lime goes beyond pH. Magnesium influences settling, evaporator scaling and fermentation performance. Understand where dolomitic lime adds value in the mill's process.

Dolomitic limestone: correct acidity and replenish magnesium in a single operation

Not all agricultural limestone is the same. The dolomitic type corrects pH and also supplies magnesium — a nutrient lacking in much of Brazil's soils. Understand PRNT, the Ca/Mg ratio and why fineness defines the speed of correction.
