doh luh mahyt
- n a kind of sedimentary rock resembling marble or limestone but rich in magnesium carbonate
- n a light colored mineral consisting of calcium magnesium carbonate; a source of magnesium; used as a ceramic and as fertilizer
- Pulverized and mixed with calcined dolomite (a common magnesium ore), the ferrosilicon reduces the ore in a vacuum, and magnesium of high purity results.
- In extracting magnesium, for instance, the ore dolomite (a limestone) is mixed with ferrosilicon and can be successfully heated under high vacuum.
- Since it uses dolomite (magnesium-calcium carbonate, one of the most plentiful limestones), plants can be almost anywhere.
