Quicklime

Quicklime (or calcium oxide or burnt lime) is obtained by calcining pure limestone at temperature above 9000C. This highly reactive product is essential to many industrial processes. Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid at room temperature. The broadly used term lime connotes calcium-containing inorganic materials, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminium, and iron predominate.

industrial applications include : Steel Making, FGD, Construction, Masonry & Mortars, Water Treatment, Chemical Processes, Mining Industry, sugar industry, Paper, Pulp and PCC, Remediation of Sludges and Wastes and Glass Manufacturing
