With the continuous development of the mining machinery industry, the functions of various ores have been widely developed. Calcite also plays an increasingly important role in our production and life, and the demand is increasing. 

Especially in recent years, the development of my country's chemical, cement and other industrial raw material industries has prompted the continuous improvement of calcite mills and is widely used in various industrial production.

Calcite is used as a flux in the metallurgical industry, and is used in the construction industry to produce cement and lime. Filling additives in plastics, paper, toothpaste and food. If calcite is added to the glass production, the resulting glass will become translucent, especially suitable for making glass lampshades. 

The newly emerging glass ceramics industry, as an emerging environmental protection industry, has become a new economic growth point for the ceramics industry. The production and export of glass ceramics products are large, and the demand for calcite is also increasing.
