Applications

  1. Steel & Iron Industries: In steel manufacture Quick Lime acts as a flux in purifying steel. Lime is also used in metallurgical plants and refractory’s thus making it integral to metal manufacturing. It also protects refractory linings and boosts production.
  2. Paper Mill: Lime is a primary raw material for paper and pulp industry. Both Quick Lime and Hydrated Lime are essentially required for the manufacturing of pulp and paper in order to enhance the quality of paper by maximizing its opacity.
  3. Sugar Mill: Hydrated Lime and Quick Lime are essential to the production of sugar from both sugar cane and sugar beet. It is used for removal of dirt, puma and pH correction. Lime is used for sugar refining worldwide, it acts as a clarifying agent for sugarcane juice in the manufacture of white sugar. It can also be added during the sugarcane washing process to treat wastewater effluents.
  4. Leather Industries: Since time immemorial lime has been used for dehairing and plumping hides preparatory to leather tanning. A cleaning agent in the leather manufacture process, lime is used to remove raw skin and thus obtain clean leather.
  5. Dairy Industries: Lime is one of the alkalis employed to neutralize the acidity in the cream before pasteurization. Addition of lime in the fermented skimmed milk forms calcium lactate, which is marketed as a medicine or further acidified to manufacture lactic acid.
  6. Paints & Pigment: All precipitated calcium carbonate, widely employed as a paint pigment, is derived from lime. It is also used in manufacturing of cement paints and is used as filler as well.
  7. Agriculture Uses: Lime is popularly used to increase the soil pH level and increase the crop yield. It is also used to improve the physical structure of the soil by reducing surface crusting. It is also used for soil liming, compost, disposal of animal products, fertilizers etc.
  8. Chemical industries: Lime contributes to a great deal in the chemical industries. our premium products pride and pearl have found application in manufacturing of fine chemicals.
  9. Water Treatment: Lime is extensively used to treat municipal waste waters and industrial liquid wastes. In wastewater treatment plants (both urban or industrial) Hydrated Lime and Quick Lime are widely used for correcting the pH balance of acidic water, for precipitating heavy metals and phosphates, and for its flocculating action.
  10. Construction Industry: Lime has long been used in the construction industry to make mortar and plaster, serving as a binder in these substances. During the hardening process, the lime combines with carbon dioxide from the air to form rocklike calcium carbonate, while water is released by evaporation. Hydraulic lime is used to make a special kind of mortar that hardens under water. Besides this, Quick Lime Powder is also used immensely for manufacturing AAC Blocks.
  11. Flue Gas Treatment: Lime is the key agent in the elimination of pollutants from fuel-gas streams of coal-fired power plants, incinerators and industrial facilities. It is used for treatment of flue gases before it is released to atmosphere.
  12. Lubricant: Used during Plastic extrusion as a lubricant in petroleum refining and also lubricating grease manufacturing process.
  13. Glass industry: Limestone and lime are the fluxing materials for glass. There is no substitute for liming materials in glass when color is important.
  14. Pharmaceutical Industry: Lime is widely used in the manufacturing of most calcium- based pharmaceuticals.
  15. Bleaching: Hydrated Lime is used in the manufacturing of bleaching Powder , di-calcium phosphate, propionate calcium citrate etc.
  16. Plastics Quicklime reacts with any free water present to form hydrated lime. This removes water from the system and can be useful when dealing with products that are heated during the manufacturing process, such as plastic. When making plastic, if any potential water is not removed then steam bubbles may occur in the finished product, which can affect its strength and appearance
