Products in Limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of the mineral calcite. It often contains other minerals as well, such as dolomite, clay minerals, and quartz. Limestone forms from the accumulation of marine organisms, such as coral, shells, algae, and calcium carbonate precipitate, over millions of years.

Calcium oxide, also known as quicklime, is a different compound (CaO) from limestone. While limestone is primarily calcium carbonate, calcium oxide is formed when limestone is heated strongly in a kiln, driving off carbon dioxide and leaving calcium oxide behind.

Calcite is the crystalline form of calcium carbonate found in limestone. It is one of the most common minerals on Earth and has many industrial uses.

Overall, limestone, calcium oxide, calcite, and calcium carbonate are related but distinct materials with different properties and applications.
