Quick lime lumps

Quicklime lumps, also known as burnt lime or calcium oxide (CaO), are produced by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) at a high temperature in a kiln. This process removes carbon dioxide and water, leaving behind calcium oxide in the form of lumps or chunks. Quicklime lumps are highly reactive and have a wide range of industrial applications due to their chemical properties. Due to its highly caustic nature and reactivity with water, handling quicklime requires caution and proper safety measures. It’s important to follow proper procedures when using quicklime to ensure the safety of workers and the environment. Quick Lime is high quality Calcium Oxide that is superbly formed by calcining calcium carbonate (lime stone) to liberate carbon di-oxide.Quick Lime is also known as burnt lime, handpicked lime, calcined lime, lump lime or caustic lime in the market.

Quick lime lumps Uses

Construction

Quicklime lumps are used in construction as a component of mortar and plaster. When mixed with water, quicklime undergoes a chemical reaction to form calcium hydroxide, which hardens over time.

Soil Stabilization

Quicklime is applied to stabilize soils in construction projects. It improves the load-bearing capacity and reduces the plasticity of clayey soils.

Steel Manufacturing

Quicklime is used in the steel industry as a fluxing agent to remove impurities from molten iron during the steel-making process.

Water Treatment

Quicklime is used in water treatment processes to raise the pH of acidic water and precipitate impurities. It's often used in municipal water treatment facilities.

Chemical Industry

Quicklime is used as a reagent in various chemical reactions and processes, including the production of calcium-based chemicals.

Paper Industry

Quicklime is used in the paper and pulp industry during the papermaking process to recover chemicals from pulp waste and to control pH levels.

Sugar Refining

Quicklime is used in sugar refining to purify sugarcane juice and to process sugar beets.

Flue Gas Desulfurization

Quicklime is used in flue gas desulfurization systems to remove sulfur dioxide emissions from power plant exhaust gases.

Agriculture

Quicklime is used in agriculture to reduce soil acidity and provide calcium to plants. It can also be used to disinfect animal waste.

Construction Materials

Quicklime is used in the manufacturing of building materials such as lime plaster, lime concrete, and lime-sand bricks.

Mining and Metallurgy

Quicklime is used in mining and metallurgical processes, such as the extraction of metals from ores.
