Serpentine is substitute for Dolomites in iron making process. Using 2 Tons of dolomite = 1 Ton of Serpentine Dolomite has no Iron (Fe) contained , while Serpentine has contained iron which 1% of Iron in Serpentine could value about 1 USD per Ton. It is a high-quality flux for adjusting the pH of molten iron during sintering and iron making. According to the data, compared with dolomite power, the cost per ton of hot metal can be reduced by 8-12 USD the steelmking product yield can be increased by 1%, the cost can be reduced by 2% the quality of steel can be increased by 3%, 4% - 7%, saving money for ironworks.

The main chemical composition is MgO ≥ 38%, SiO2 ≤ 40%, Ai2O3 ≤ 1.3% and Fe2O3 >7.5
