Our Applications
Agriculture Industry
Ag-lime is generally used to increase soil pH, which can increase crop yields among a wide range of soil conditions.Improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil
Sugar Industry
Hydrated lime is essential to the production of sugar from both sugar cane and sugar beets. Sugar cane and sugar beets are harvested and processed with water to form raw juice, which has low pH and contains dissolved impurities.
PULP & PAPER INDUSTRY
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.
STEEL INDUSTRY
Our goal is to provide solutions that will help our steel customers succeed in this highly competitive industry, maximizing their production and helping them to meet ever-more-stringent quality requirements.
LIME IN WATER TREATMENT
Lime is used by many municipalities to improve water quality, especially for water softening and arsenic removal. Indeed, the American Water Works Association has issued standards that provide for the use of lime in drinking water treatment.
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
It's used in the production of chemicals such as Calcium Carbide and Cyanimide, Calcium phosphates, Calcium silicates, High alumina cement, Titanium oxide, Citric acid, Magnesium nitrate, Sodium chloride, etc.Lime products provide a source of calcium, alkali, desiccant, lubricant etc.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
Lime is a truly versatile material widely used in the construction of buildings. It can be utilized in masonry applications as a component of mortar or of the masonry unit. Exterior (stucco) and interior plaster systems can also contain lime. Finally, decorative finishes can be created with lime washes.
LIME & LIMESTONE IN GLASS MANUFACTURING
When lime is heated with silica sand (SiO2) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), a solution is formed that does not crystallize when cooled. Instead, it hardens to an amorphous, clear and nearly colorless solid - namely, glass. Because it is a mixture, glass does not have a distinct melting point.
