QUICK LIME

Quicklime (CaO)
A monoxide of calcium (CaO), is often referred to as burnt lime. It is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid and manufactured from limestone, which is extracted from quarries and mines. Limestone is usually crushed and fed into lime kilns, where it is burnt at high temperatures and broken down into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

Quicklime has a wide range of uses including in the production of iron and steel, paper and pulp, sugar refining, treatment of water, wastewater and flue gases, construction (soil stabilization), agriculture, mining industry, chemical industry,…

  -   In the construction market, quicklime is highly effective at reducing soil plasticity index, reducing the shrink/swell potential and resisting potentially harmful freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles.

  -   In environmental applications, quicklime will adjust the pH of waste streams, reducing heavy metals solubility.

  -   In the industrial markets, quicklime makes the air we breathe cleaner, removes impurities in steelmaking processes, and makes the water we drink safer.

Quicklime can help repair and even prevent landslide in the oil and gas industry by drying overly wet soils and modifying soils to provide greater internal friction helping to increase construction and overall productivity.
