Limestone and granite are commonly used rocks in nature, especially in recent years, the sandstone market has a good development prospect, and the demand is rising, attracting many friends to join.

What is the difference between limestone and granite?

Limestone: Limestone is mainly formed in shallow sea environment, with calcite as the main component, generally gray, gray-white, gray-black, yellow, light red, brown-red and other colors. They have a complex structure, including a debris structure and a particle structure, and they have little hardness. They react violently with dilute hydrochloric acid. They are the main raw materials for firing lime and cement, fluxes for ironmaking and steelmaking, and can also be applied to metallurgical steel, power plants, refractories, etc.

Granite: It is an intrusive rock in acidic magmatic rocks, and its formation process is usually closely related to continental tectonics, metamorphism and mineralization. It is mostly light red, light gray, grayish-white, medium-coarse, fine-grained structure, and block-like structure. The main minerals are syenite, potassium feldspar and acid plagioclase, and the secondary minerals are biotite, amphibole and sometimes a small amount of pyroxene, which are used in construction, municipal and traffic engineering.

Limestone and granite can be processed not only into stone, but also into machine-made sand (0-5mm). If necessary, an impact sand maker and sand washer can be added after impact crushing and cone crushing.
