Limestone, limestone crusher, hammer crusher

Limestone introduction:
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of calcite, calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Limestone often contains variable amounts of silica or siliceous skeletal fragment, as well as varying amounts of clay, silt and sand sized terrestrial detritus carried in by rivers.

Applications of limestone include:
-The manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide);
-Cement (concrete) and mortar
-An excellent building stone for humid regions;
-Common in architecture
-Pulverized limestone is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soil conditions;
-Crushed for use as aggregate—the solid base for many roads;
-Glass making, in some circumstances;
-Added to paper, plastics, paint, tiles, and other materials as both white pigment and a cheap filler.
-Toothpaste
-Added to bread and cereals as a source of calcium
-Used in blast furnaces to extract iron from its ore
-Medicines
-Cosmetics
