Quicklime

Mining Industry:

• Both quicklime and hydrated lime are widely used in the extraction of non-ferrous minerals. For example: in the copper flotation process, lime acts as a stabilizing agent and maintains alkalinity at appropriate levels. In mercury extraction, lime is used to remove sulfur. In gold and silver extraction, lime is utilized to reduce the loss of flotation agents and for pH control.

Steel Industry:

• High-calcium quicklime and dolomitic quicklime are commonly used in basic oxygen furnaces (BOF) and electric arc furnaces (EAF), where they aid in slag formation to remove impurities such as silica and phosphorus. Lime is also used to improve productivity in the ore sintering process.

Soil Stabilization:

• This procedure allows for the permanent compaction of clay materials for ground bases. Through this simple chemical reaction process, an increase in strength and bearing capacity is achieved, as well as a reduction in water sensitivity and constant volume changes.

Hazardous Waste:

• Lime is employed in the treatment of a wide variety of hazardous waste as a neutralizing agent and/or a precipitant for heavy metals.

Wastewater Treatment:

• Wastewater from domestic, industrial, and commercial sources contains suspended solids, dissolved colloidal organic matter, nutrients (phosphates and ammonia), and even heavy metals.
