LIMESTONE MINING Calcite and dolomite, when heated and in some cases slurried or combined with salt, are used in making many everyday products such as paper, glass, paint and varnish, soap and detergents, textiles, refractories, baking powder, and pharmaceuticals, including milk of magnesia and bicarbonate of soda.
Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that is often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, foraminifera, and molluscs.Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3).A closely related rock is dolomite, which contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO 3) 2.
drainage originating from the coal and ore mining processes in general and open-pit mining in particular are well documented in the literature (Cherry et al. 2001; Skousen et al. 2002). Even though the environmental impacts of ore and coal mining have been adequately investigated, the impact of limestone rock mining has not been well studied.
While limestone itself doesn't affect the environment, limestone mining can have a negative impact. On the other hand, the environment can affect limestone by breaking it down. Limestone mining can pollute water and create sinkholes. When limestone dissolves while it's still in the ground, caves and gullies form, a natural phenomenon known as
Throughout most of Iowa, production of limestone aggregate from surface quarries will undoubtedly remain the principal method of mining.
