Dolomite Supplier & Exporter — Raw Lump and Calcined Grades

CaMg(CO₃)₂ Calcium Magnesium Carbonate · MgO 19 – 38%

Bulk dolomite in two forms off one deposit — raw carbonate lump for steel flux, glass and agriculture, and calcined dolomite for refractory and metallurgical use. Six certified samples run silica as low as 0.10% and iron as low as 0.01%, with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis per shipment.

Grades & Chemical Analysis

Two grades off the same deposit. The raw carbonate keeps its CO₂ and is bought on low silica and low iron; the calcined grade has been burnt off to oxide and is bought on combined CaO + MgO. Select a grade to view its full analysis.

Ranges are the spread across the certified samples, not a blended average. The full sample-by-sample analysis is in the table below and in the downloadable sheet; a batch-specific CoA is issued per shipment.

Dolomite — Certified Sample Analysis

Every sample on the published analysis sheet, reported as certified. Sample d206 is the calcined grade, which is why its CaO and MgO sit so much higher and its loss on ignition is replaced by residual CO₂.

If none of the grades above matches your target chemistry, fineness, or packaging, tell us your requirements — we produce custom grades to your exact specification.

Applications

Dolomite is bought for two different reasons — the magnesia it carries into a melt, and the carbonate it gives up on heating. Which grade suits depends on which of those you are paying for.

Steelmaking Flux

Raw and calcined dolomite as slag conditioner, protecting the furnace lining.

Refractories

Calcined and dead-burned dolomite in basic refractory brick and gunning mixes.

Glass Manufacture

Magnesia source improving durability and working range of the melt.

Agriculture

Dolomitic lime raising soil pH while supplying magnesium.

Construction Aggregate

Crushed dolomite in concrete, asphalt and road base.

Filler & Extender

Milled dolomite in paint, plastics, rubber and adhesives.

Packaging, Logistics & Trading Terms

How we size, bag, certify and ship dolomite. Terms can be adapted by agreement — tell us what your operation needs.

Minimum Order Quantity
1 × 20 ft container (approx. 25 MT) bagged. 500 MT minimum for bulk vessel. Trial quantities available for qualification.
Packaging
25 kg and 50 kg PP bags, 1–1.5 MT woven jumbo bags, or bulk. Lump supplied loose; milled grades bagged with a moisture-barrier liner on request.
Incoterms & Loading Ports
EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF (Incoterms® 2020). Standard loading at Bandar Abbas and Bandar Imam Khomeini; other ports by arrangement.
Quality Certification
Batch-specific CoA with every shipment covering CaO, MgO, SiO₂, Fe₂O₃ and loss on ignition. SGS / Bureau Veritas inspection at buyer’s cost.
Lead Time
7–14 days for standard grades after order confirmation; 15–25 days for custom-milled or specially packed material.
Storage & Handling
Store raw dolomite under cover to keep fines dry. Calcined dolomite is hygroscopic and slakes on contact with moisture — keep it sealed and use it in rotation, or it will hydrate in the bag and lose the reactivity it was bought for.

Certificate of Analysis

A batch-specific CoA is issued with every shipment. Third-party inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas or an inspector of your choice can be arranged at the buyer’s cost.

Dolomite — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between raw and calcined dolomite?
Heat. Raw dolomite is the carbonate rock as quarried, running CaO 30–32% and MgO 19–22% with 46–47% loss on ignition — that loss is the CO₂ still locked in the mineral. Calcining drives the CO₂ off, which concentrates the oxides to CaO 55–60% and MgO 34–38% and leaves only 2–5% residual CO₂. Steel flux and agriculture generally take the raw rock; refractory and metallurgical work takes the calcined.
How low is the silica and iron?
The best certified sample runs 0.099% SiO₂ and 0.015% Fe₂O₃, and four of the six sit at or below 0.20% silica. One sample, d204, is higher at 1.54% silica and 0.11% iron. We quote against the seam that meets your ceiling rather than the average, so tell us your maximum at enquiry stage.
Can you supply dolomite for glassmaking?
Yes — that is what the low-iron seam is for. Glass batch is sensitive to Fe₂O₃ because iron colours the melt, and the certified samples run 0.01–0.20%. Confirm your iron ceiling and sizing with the enquiry and we will confirm which seam and screen fraction we can hold.
Is a lead figure reported?
On one sample, yes. Sample d204 carries PbO at 0.45%; the other five do not report lead. If your specification has a heavy-metal limit, say so at enquiry stage and we will quote only against seams that certify to it.
What sizing is available?
Lump, chip and milled powder. Sizing is cut to order rather than held to one standard fraction, so give us the screen range your process needs and we will confirm what the crusher and screen line can hold on that seam.
What is the minimum order quantity for dolomite?
One 20 ft container, approximately 25 MT, for bagged material. Bulk vessel shipments start at 500 MT. Trial quantities can be arranged so you can qualify the rock in your own furnace, batch or field trial before committing to a full order.
