Dolomite — Eastern Desert steel-grade lump, 18 % MgO, with glass-grade and agricultural options

Dolomite, CaMg(CO₃)₂, is the magnesia-bearing carbonate that steelmakers charge as a flux and slag conditioner, that refractory makers calcine into dolomitic lime, and that glass batches use as a combined CaO / MgO source. The steel buyer specifies it on MgO, CaO and the two contaminants that matter in a furnace — SiO₂ and Fe₂O₃ — plus lump size, because fines decrepitate and blind the burden. Egypt's Eastern Desert dolomite belts supply a consistent, low-silica carbonate within short road distance of the Red Sea ports.

Egypt Globe Group's catalogue line is Dolomite Lump 18 % MgO — Steel Industry: MgO ≥ 18 %, CaO ≥ 30 %, SiO₂ ≤ 2 %, Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.5 %, LOI ≤ 45 %, ≥ 95 % combined carbonates, 40–150 mm lump, loading bulk from Adabiya. Finer glass-grade and agricultural-lime sizings are quoted on request. Many regional quarries ship whatever the face yields that week; Egypt Globe Group's QA division, built in since incorporation, assays MgO and silica on every export lot at the port laboratory before the B/L, and a lot outside the contractual CoA is rejected at the loading port rather than re-graded.

Frequently asked questions

What grades of Dolomite can I buy from Egypt?
Dolomite, CaMg(CO₃)₂, is the magnesia-bearing carbonate that steelmakers charge as a flux and slag conditioner, that refractory makers calcine into dolomitic lime, and that glass batches use as a combined CaO / MgO source. The steel buyer specifies it on MgO, CaO and the two contaminants that matter in a furnace — SiO₂ and Fe₂O₃ — plus lump size, because fines decrepitate and blind the burden. The catalogue lists 1 SKU: Dolomite Lump Supplier in Egypt — 18% MgO, Steel Grade.
What is the smallest shipment of Dolomite Egypt Globe Group will quote?
Containerised (FCL): 500 MT in 1 MT FIBC or 25 kg PP bags; break-bulk vessel: 500 MT; bulk parcels sized to buyer and berth. Packing — Bulk vessel · 1 MT FIBC · 25 kg PP bag. Sold FOB / CFR / CIF; DAP / DDP on request.
Which loading ports and lead times apply to Dolomite?
Loading ports are Adabiya (EGADA), Alexandria (EGALY), Ain Sokhna (EGSOK). Lead time is 3–5 weeks from a confirmed order.
What testing does each lot of Dolomite pass before the Bill of Lading?
At the port laboratory gate: XRF oxides, LOI, combined carbonates, sizing, moisture on lot composite. Per-lot CoA (MgO, CaO, SiO₂, Fe₂O₃, LOI, sizing) by the port laboratory before B/L; out-of-spec lots rejected at the loading port. An independent inspector can be appointed — SGS (specified on the catalogue row), Bureau Veritas or TÜV Austria: draft survey, increment sampling per ISO 11648-2, witnessed XRF, sealed referee sample.
Which standards and export documents apply to Dolomite?
XRF per EN 196-2 / EN ISO 12677, ISO 13320 (sizing), ISO 11648-2 (sampling); ISO 9001:2015, SGS verified and Egyptian Standard per the catalogue row. HS code: 2518.10.00.
