Carbonate Minerals Market Volume Analysis, Size, Share and Key Trends 2015 – 2025 by Future Market Insights
Future Market Insights has announced the addition of the “Carbonate Minerals Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2015 - 2025" report to their offering.
Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWire) -- 10/14/2015 --Carbonates are the most widely distributed minerals in the Earth's crust. The crystal structure of many carbonates reflects the trigonal symmetry of the carbonate ion that is composed of carbon atom centrally located in an equilateral triangle of oxygen atoms. The anion group often is found in combination with sodium, calcium, iron, aluminium, uranium and rare earth minerals among others. The carbonates are soft and soluble in hydrochloric acid. There are almost 80 known carbonate minerals among which most of them are rare minerals. The common varieties of carbonate minerals are dolomite, calcite and aragonite among which calcite is the principal mineral of marble and limestone. Dolomite is said to be a replacement of calcite in limestones.Aragonite occurs in calcareous skeletons of shells of organisms. The other common carbonate minerals such as rhodochrosite for manganese, siderite for iron and strontanite for strontium among others serve as metal ores.
The major applications of carbonates minerals are in glasses, light bulbs, ceramic tiles, mugs, plates, paints, plastic wide goods, wooden flooring, salt, detergents, sugar, heating elements among others. The main markets consuming carbonate minerals include abrasives, foundry, absorbents, metallurgy, glass, ceramics, cement, paint, chemicals, paper, plastics, oil well drilling, flame retardants, construction and filtration among others. About 50% of paints are made up of minerals, ceramics contain up to 100% minerals, and a family house contains about 400 tonnes of minerals.
The major factor driving the carbonate minerals market includes the growing demand from the chemical industry for manufacture of end use products such as cosmetics and personal care products among others.In addition, the increasing use of minerals for cement and paints in the building and construction industry is likely to boost the global market. Rising demand from these sectors ultimately leads to fuel the demand for carbonate minerals in the market.
