Lime Stone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3). The deposition of limestone strata is often a by-product and indicator of biological activity in the geologic record. Calcium (along with nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) is a key mineral to plant nutrition, soils overlying limestone bedrock tend to be pre-fertilized with calcium. Limestone is a key ingredient of quicklime, mortar, cement, and concrete. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to important phenomena. Uses of limestone : Lime stone is an important stone for masonry and architecture The manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) Cement and mortar Pulverized limestone is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soil conditions Crushed for use as aggregate the solid base for many roads Geological formations of limestone are among the best petroleum reservoirs As a reagent in desulphurization Glass making, in some circumstances Added to paper, plastics, paint, tiles and other materials as both white pigment and a cheap filler Toothpaste Added to bread and cereals as a source of calcium Calcium supplement for poultry (when ground up)
