Lime Stone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that's mainly made of calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It's created when these minerals precipitate out of water that contains dissolved calcium. Limestone can also contain varying amounts of clay, silt, sand, and silica in the form of chert or flint.
USES:
Construction: It's used as a building material for roads, bridges, and buildings.
Industrial: It serves as a key raw material in the production of cement, lime, and glass.
Agriculture: Ground limestone is used to improve soil quality and increase crop yields by neutralizing soil acidity.
Water Treatment: It helps in purifying water by removing impurities.
Carbon Capture: It plays a role in capturing and storing carbon dioxide in various industrial processes.
