Included activities starts

The activity starts with the production and import of "Lightly calcined dolomite" in this region.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "Lightly calcined dolomite" to the consumers of this product. Transportation is included; however, product losses during transport are negligible and therefore not included.

Description

This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.

Activity Description

The production process of calcined dolomite includes steps such as feeding, vibrating feeding, mixing, spreading, calcination, discharging, and screening. It is typically calcined at high temperatures (800°C~1000°C), during which part of the carbon dioxide in dolomite is released, converting it into reactive calcium oxide.

Process Description

Light-burned dolomite is a type of marble that has undergone high-temperature processing. By calcining dolomite at elevated temperatures, new mineral crystals are formed, thereby altering its physical and chemical properties. After light burning, the hardness and density of dolomite increase. It is primarily used in steelmaking to enhance the fluidity of molten slag and serves as a fluxing agent.
