Abstract

In this article the authors consider the issues concerning promising areas of dolomite utilization as a component in various applications when forming construction materials. The article presents the structure assessment of the dolomite of Madaevskoe deposit in the Nizhny Novgorod Region (Russian Federation). Besides, the article describes the results of selecting the optimal composition of the putty coat containing the dolomite as fine ground filler. For the purpose of using dolomite as a magnesia binder, the authors have considered phase transformations as a result of dolomite calcinations in both pure form and when adding promoters of magnesium component decomposition.
