After being quarried it can be "roasted" in a revolving cylindrical "oven" to produce cement. Cement is in concrete and mortar, so the limestone has helped the construction of buildings and bridges. Indeed during the last World War there were even boats made from concrete. Limestone itself can be used as the foundation for road construction, and, like other types of stone, is used to construct stone buildings and stone walls. Lime and limestone are also used in many industrial and chemical processes.

How can limestone be helpful?

Limestone can be helpful in many way, it depends on what state it is in and the uses can vary. As solid limestone or crushed limestone, it can be used by extracting iron from it's ore, to make sodium carbonate, used in road contruction or to make concrete. As CaO (heated limestone), the uses are making steel Fromm iron, to neutrilize acidic soil or it can be a drying agent. CaOH2 (calcium hydroxide or slaked lime - lime stone when it's wetted) neutralises acidic soil. I got this info from my chemistry book :-d


Can minerals be found in a limestone rock?

Yes, minerals can be found in limestone rock. Limestone primarily consists of calcite, a mineral formed from calcium carbonate, but it can also contain other minerals such as aragonite, dolomite, and various clay minerals. Additionally, impurities and trace minerals can be present, depending on the environment in which the limestone was formed. These minerals can influence the properties and uses of the rock in construction and other industries.


What is the ore minerals of limestone?

Limestone is primarily composed of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate), which is its main ore mineral. In some cases, limestone can also contain other minerals such as dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) and aragonite. While limestone itself is not typically mined for metals, it is a valuable source of calcium for various industrial applications and can serve as a raw material in cement production. Additionally, impurities in limestone can include clay, silica, and iron oxides, which can influence its uses and properties.

What are the differences between gypsum and limestone in terms of their composition and uses?

Gypsum and limestone are both sedimentary rocks, but they have different compositions and uses. Gypsum is made of calcium sulfate dihydrate, while limestone is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. Gypsum is commonly used in construction for drywall and plaster, while limestone is used in construction for buildings and roads.


What are some outdated uses of the mineral calcium?

Calcium per se does not have many uses I can think of. Old uses of calcium minerals include "limelight' made by playing a flame on limestone. Whitewash made from reduced limestone is much less common than it used to be.
