Calcined Lime (Quicklime)

Calcined lime, commonly known as quicklime, is produced by heating high-quality limestone (calcium carbonate) at temperatures between 900°C and 1100°C. During this calcination process, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is released, creating a product primarily composed of calcium oxide (CaO).
With its strong alkalinity and versatility, quicklime plays a crucial role across multiple industries including steelmaking, metallurgy, chemical production, construction, agriculture, and water treatment.

Key Features of Quicklime

• Outstanding thermal resistance and stability in harsh industrial environments
• High alkalinity for neutralization of acids in chemical applications
• Excellent reactivity suitable for diverse chemical processes
• Durable and robust material, perfect for construction industries
• Valuable raw material in refractories and metallurgical operations

Industrial Applications

• Used as a flux in steelmaking and metallurgical operations
• Effective in water and wastewater treatment for removing impurities
• Applied in the chemical sector for producing calcium hydroxide and other compounds
• Essential raw material in cement production and construction products
• Widely used in agriculture to neutralize acidic soils and enhance crop productivity
