QUICKLIME
Quicklime, chemically known as calcium oxide (CaO), or commonly referred to as lime, is a widely used chemical compound that originates from calcium carbonate (aka limestone) which is formed when calcium carbonate is heated in a kiln through the process of calcination. Quicklime is primarily made up of calcium, magnesium and small amounts of other chemical compounds depending on the formation of the originating limestone. Quicklime derived from limestone containing less than 5% magnesium content is referred to as high calcium quicklime.
It finds its application in,
- Sugar Industry
- Steel Industry
- Metallurgical process
- Pollution Control
