Prospects for Effective Use of Dolomite in Concrete Compositions

Abstract

Abstract The article discusses possibilities for creating sustainable concrete compositions from local dolomite raw materials. In the first part of the article, practical examples of the use of dolomite quarry by-products (siftings) as a component of concrete mixes are summarized. The second part of article presents experimental study on obtaining caustic dolomite. This method allows obtaining the product with higher added value. Local dolomite raw materials are used and appropriate regimes of thermal treatment have been tested.
