Calcite Mining Crusher and Calcite Crusher Applications
The Calcite has another name calcspar. Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It has a Mohs hardness of 3, a specific gravity of 2.71, and its luster is vitreous in crystallized varieties. Color is white or none, though shades of gray, red, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, or even black can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. Calcite is transparent to opaque and may occasionally show phosphorescence or fluorescence. A transparent variety called Iceland spar is used for optical purposes.

Calcite is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks, limestone in particular, much of which is formed from the shells of dead marine organisms. Approximately 10% of sedimentary rock is limestone. Calcite is the primary mineral in metamorphic marble. It also occurs as a vein mineral in deposits from hot springs, and it occurs in caverns as stalactites and stalagmites.

The mineral is worked by shallow pits. During mining the calcite is sorted out into different grades depending upon the colours as they fetch different prices and also, because their suitability depends upon the colours. The mineral is used invariably in the form of fine powder. Few important mine-owners have their own pulverizing plants; others sell to pulverizers. Generally calcite is supplied in three qualities: Best white (super-fix), White (Calico), Grey white (Gemco).

In Calcite Applications that must be use our crusher and grinding mill. Crush Calcite into different particle size, grind it into different fineness, so that you can use it in the following areas:

The equipments we produced are divided into several parts, including crushers, mills, screening and washing machines. And our crushers have been widely used in mining series of ores and minerals. It can be used as fluorite dressing machine, gold ore crusher, giga crusher, glass crusher, granite crusher, graphite processing machine, gravel crushing machine, gypsum crusher, kaolin crusher, gyrating crusher, limestone crusher, magnesium crusher, limestone crushing line, manganese powdering machine, marble grinding machine, mobile gold mining machine, limestone crushing mill, metal impact crusher etc.

Calcite for optical industries

The transparent and clear crystals are used in the optical industry, for the manufacture of nicol prism. Principal characteristics which make iceland-spar of special value for use in optical instruments are its very high birefringence, high degree of purity, perfect crystalline structure and transparency. The mineral must be in pieces at least 25mm. long, 12mm. thick, colorless, transparent and free from cloudy inclusions, cavities, and foreign substances.

As to the calcite crushing ,we company recommend you the jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher and so on. And you can also use our matched grinding equipment such as the ball mill and vertical roller mill if you have higher requirement about the final particle size. As the largest manufacturer of mining and crushing equipment in China, we provide quality after-sales service with much successful production experience. And the calcite production line will also bring you the most benefits !

Calcite for antacids

A commercial use of calcium carbonate is its use in antacids. This is also due to its ability to dissolve in acid and to produce carbon dioxide and water. The calcium carbonate in the antacid dissolves in the stomach acid, HCl and produces water, carbon dioxide and calcium chloride.

Calcite for paper industries

Calcium carbonate in the form of chalk is used as filler in the paper industry. It is used as a cheap way to make bright opaque paper. Filler is used at the wet-end of paper making machines, the calcium carbonate filler allows for the paper to be bright and smooth.

Calcite for construction industries

The main use is being its contribution to the making of mortar which is used in bonding bricks, concrete blocks, stones, and tiles in construction.

SBM can supply you calcite crusher machines and calcite industrial grinding mill. We can also offer you some optional equipments such as vibrating feeder, vibrating screen, belt conveyor, sand washing machine or sand washer.
