Application

Quick Lime acts as purifier to eliminate impurities, to remove sulphur removing phosphorus – dephosphorization , it act as a flux.

Both Quick Lime and Hydrated Lime are important commodity for the pulp and paper industry. Lime products are used in the pulp and paper industry in the recausticizing to recycle sodium hydroxide for use in the pulp digester.Lime products can be used to scrub flue gas and to treat industrial sludge and industrial water waste .

Lime is used in soils stabilization of roads building fountains and earthen dams. Lime is added to low quality soils to produce usable base and sub base. Hydrated lime has long been acknowledge to be a superior anti –stripping additive for asphalt pavements.
