Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It is the most common mineral in natural calcium carbonate, so calcite is a very widely distributed mineral. As a stable form of calcium carbonate, calcite usually has the characteristics of being soft, white or gray, and transparent. Its crystal forms are diverse, including acicular, tabular, granular, columnar, flaky, stalactitic, etc. The name "calcite" comes from its unique cleavage property - when calcite is struck, it is easy to get many square fragments.

 

The origin of calcite is mainly related to the sedimentary process of rocks, especially in marine environments, where calcite is formed through biological or chemical deposition. For example, calcium carbonate deposits in organisms such as corals and shells can be transformed into calcite over time. It can also be transformed from other minerals under metamorphism deep in the earth's crust. The discovery history of calcite can be traced back to ancient civilizations before the Common Era, when people noticed its crystalline characteristics and special cleavage phenomena early on. Calcite has played an important role in various historical periods. For instance, ancient Egyptians used calcite to make light-transmitting windows, and in the Middle Ages, calcite was also commonly used in carving and building materials. In modern times, calcite is widely used in construction materials, chemical industry, agriculture and other fields.

 

At present, calcite processing technologies are mainly divided into two types: dry production process and wet production process. The dry production process is generally used to produce products with d97 ≥ 3-5 μｍ, while the wet production process is generally used to produce products with d97 ≤ 3-5 μｍ (d90 ≤ 2 μｍ).

 

In recent years, the demand for calcite in China's industry has shown an upward trend, increasing from 27.55 million tons in 2019 to 32 million tons in 2024, which is mainly driven by the growth of downstream market demand. In the construction field, calcite is often used in the production of marble, and also used as a basic material in cement, mortar and concrete. In the chemical industry, calcite is used to produce calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and limestone powder, which are widely used in plastics, coatings, papermaking and other industries. It also plays an important role in environmental protection, such as water treatment, waste gas desulfurization and soil improvement. In addition, calcite is used as a flux in iron and steel smelting in the metallurgical industry, and as a calcium source in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In agriculture, calcite is used to improve soil pH and enhance soil fertility. With the continuous development of these industries, the market size of the calcite industry is expected to continue to grow.
