Quicklime is obtained by burning the rocks found in nature as limestone or limestone (CaCO3) in different sizes, and then burning the lime in furnaces that can be heated up to 900 degrees.
This process is called calcination. Its main component is calcium oxide. Its quality depends on many factors such as physical properties, reactivity to water and chemical composition. Quicklime, the most readily available and cost-effective alkali, plays an important role in a wide variety of industrial processes.
Areas where Quicklime is used; Iron & steel industry, refining, construction, water treatment, chemical processes, mining industry, paper, pulp and PCC, wastewater and sewage sludge treatment and glass production.
