Contact SupplierCalcite is the principal constituent of limestone and marble. Calcite, the most common form of natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Calcite has a hardness of three on the Mohs scale, and that makes it suitable as a low-hardness abrasive. It is softer than the stone, porcelain, and plastic surfaces found in kitchens and bathrooms but more durable than dried food and other debris that people want to remove. Its low hardness makes it an effective cleaning agent that does not damage the surface being cleaned. A large percentage of the calcite, the most abundant of these carbonate minerals, occurs in limestones, It is additionally utilized as fillers in cosmetics. It is added to swimming pools as a disinfectant agent and as pH corrector. Some of the earliest paints were made with calcite. It is a primary ingredient in whitewash, and it is used as an inert coloring ingredient of paint. On reacting with dilute acids, calcium carbonate gives carbon dioxide. CaCO3 is gotten by utilizing carbon dioxide and slaked lime as raw materials. At the point when carbon dioxide is gone through slaked lime, calcite is acquired. Another strategy to get calcite is by adding sodium carbonate to calcium chloride
