Do you know the calcium carbonate of Limestone has been used since 14,000 BCE till now?
Well, it's a valuable resource that fulfills the requirements of multiple industries.In short, Limestone is a sedimentary rock. It is formed by CaCO3 chemical composition. And it forms under warm, shallow, and clear marine water. Further, it is well known as a biological sedimentary rock. And forms by the accumulation of coral, shell, and fecal, algal, and different organic debris. In short, Limestone is formed through chemical sedimentary processes of the precipitation of calcium carbonate from ocean or lake water.
What Are the Different Uses of Limestone?
Well, Limestone is used in different industries for different purposes. Let's have a look over
them.

1.  Agricultural use
   Usually, Limestone deposits 90% of calcium carbonate content which is used by the farming industry. Many grades can be produced by crushing the Limestone. And those products are known as agricultural lime. As you know, soil acidity is a major factor that limits crop production and increases plant growth. Once you spread agricultural lime to the soil or paddock, the calcium carbonate content can neutralize the acid. It also helps in freeing up soil minerals, like phosphates, and makes them available for absorption into the plant.
2. Manufactured goods
   Limestone is used as filler in manufactured goods. High-grade limestone deposits consist of calcium carbonate, approx. 95%. So, this Limestone is ground in a number of various sizes with different diameters from a fraction of a micron to many microns, and 1 micron is equal to 10-6 m. The powders are used as filler in manufactured goods like plastics, paints, paper, carpets, and cleansers.
3. Construction industry
   Limestone is a major need for the construction industry. For instance, specific kinds of Limestone are found in India, and it is cut into blocks suited for building stone. In a road construction project, limestone aggregate is used as a base material. On the other hand, lower-grade limestones having clay content are used in cement production for the construction industry. Basically, concrete's key ingredient is the cement which is served in foundations, structural beams, columns, and much more places.
4. Tiles and marble Limestone is a stone with sedimentary rocks and is hard in nature. So, you can use limestoneas tiles and marble floors in commercial or residential buildings. You can walk on it comfortably, and it is easy to maintain it with a simple process. Nowadays, people get options to choose a style of limestone flooring for their spaces. It's an affordable flooring choice with numerous options available.
5. Stone cladding to the wall
   Limestone is one the best conductors of heat, which means putting it on a wall will make a room cool. So, cladding Limestone to the wall will provide a cool temperature as well as low electricity bills. It is durable, so you don't need to repair or replace it in a short time. Hopefully, you have got a clear idea of Limestone and its uses in different industries. This article consists of the main five industries where Limestone is popular because of its properties. The most decorative, Natural and strong alternative.
