Carbonate Resources in Viet Nam: Exploiting, Processing and Using

Abstract

Vietnam has a carbonate rock distribution area of about 60,000 km2, accounting for nearly 20% of the territory's area. Carbonate rocks in Vietnam are located in many different stratigraphy, their ages from Pre Cambrian to Triassic. Carbonate rocks in Vietnam include limestone, marble, and dolomite. Carbonate rock has been made up for hundreds of millions of years. However, the use of carbonate rock resources in Vietnam is inconsequential, reducing its value. The author of the article introduces an overview of carbonate rock resources in Vietnam, and the reality of exploiting and processing carbonate resources in Vietnam. Since then, gave warnings about illogical in the use of carbonate rock resources. At the same time, it also makes recommendations for the rational use of carbonate rock resources for sustainable development.
