Activity Description
The mining process of dolomite involves steps such as overburden removal, blasting, and loading, up to the extraction of raw dolomite ore.
Process Description
Dolomite is a sedimentary rock mainly composed of calcium carbonate, formed through metamorphic processes of the earth's crust. Dolomite can be used as an important auxiliary material in the metallurgical industry for sintering and steelmaking, as well as in construction materials, carved artworks, flooring, and countertop production.

Technology comment
Mining techniques include two methods: underground mining and open-pit mining. Underground mining involves extracting ore bodies beneath the surface, generally including the excavation of horizontal and inclined shafts, followed by ore extraction and transportation underground. This requires the use of blasting, drilling, and other equipment to extract the ore, which is then transported to the surface via hoisting systems. Open-pit mining extracts ore bodies at the surface and is typically used for shallow deposits. This method includes processes such as blasting, excavation, and loading.
