QUICK LIME
DATA SHEET |
Quick Lime is a Calcium oxide formed by calcining calcium carbonate (lime stone) so that carbon di-oxide is liberated. Quick Lime is also called as burnt lime, handpicked lime, calcining lime, lump lime or caustic lime. A caustic substance that is prepared by burning calcium carbonate lime stone at approximately 900 degree Celsius, at this high temperatures carbon dioxide is driven off and the lime Stone is converted to quick lime. A chemical compound with formula (CaO) it is a whitish, odorless alkaline substance, that does not dissolve well in water. It can be used as a lining material. Major use is in various industrial processes like metal smelting, paper bleaching, sulphur neutralization in sugar and so many. It is used in many water and waste water treatment operations such as softening. Our range of quick lime includes Burnt Lime, Dolomitic Lime, Grinded Quick Lime, Calcined Lime Powder. Our range of quick lime includes burnt lime, dolomitic lime, grinded quic lime and calcined lime powder.

We offer quick burnt lime that is also known as calcium oxide, handpicked lime and burnt lime. This product is manufactured by calcining or controlled heating of limestones at temperature above 900°C. We offer quick burnt lime that is used as high reactive product and are largely applicable in various industrial applications. The different forms in which quick lime is available which are:
Pebble Lime
Handpicked Lime
Grinded Lime
Milled Lime
Dust-free lime
The composition of our quicklime is given below:

Dolomitic lime is the name given to the lime formed from calcining a natural dolomitic limestone that contains nearly an equal molar weight percentage of calcium oxide to magnesium oxide. Ideally, this quicklime would contain 56% calcium oxide, 40% magnesium oxide, and 4% other major lime impurities such as iron oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, and sulfur. |

The grinded quick lime offered by us is quicklime with different minerals. This is also known as calcined lime powder. This grinded quick lime is manufactured from calcining dolomitic limestone which is natural and also contains equal molar weight % of calcium oxide to magnesium oxide. The blended quicklime at our unit would also contain 56% calcium oxide, 40% magnesium oxide, and 4% of various other major lime impurities like aluminum oxide, iron oxide, sulfur and silicon dioxide. We offer our range of blended quicklime in lumps of 4" x 3" and powder of 100 mesh. |
