Lime Calcium Powder – Industrial-Grade Calcium Source

Lime Calcium Powder is a general term used for an industrial-grade, fine white powder that is rich in calcium. Depending on its application, it may refer to:

• Hydrated Lime (Calcium Hydroxide)

• Quicklime (Calcium Oxide)

• Finely Ground Limestone Powder (Calcium Carbonate)

Its primary value lies in its high calcium content and alkaline properties, making it an essential raw material across multiple industries.

1. Glass Manufacturing

• Acts as a flux and stabilizer in glass production.

• Improves workability, durability, and chemical resistance of glass.

• Essential in producing flat glass, bottles, containers, and specialty glass used in construction, packaging, and automotive industries.

2. Mining & Metallurgy

• Used to control pH levels during mineral processing.

• Plays a vital role in froth flotation, helping in the selective separation of valuable minerals from ores.

• Assists in neutralizing acidic mine water and stabilizing tailings.

• Enhances the efficiency of extraction processes in gold, copper, zinc, and other mineral industries.

3. Water & Wastewater Treatment

• Due to its alkaline nature, it neutralizes acidic wastewater streams.

• Helps in removing heavy metals like iron, manganese, and lead through precipitation.

• Improves coagulation and clarification of water, making it suitable for both municipal water treatment and industrial effluent treatment.

4. Agriculture & Soil Conditioning

• Can be applied to acidic soils to increase pH and enhance fertility.

• Improves nutrient availability for crops, resulting in better agricultural yield.

• Used in animal feed supplements (food-grade versions) as a source of calcium.

5. Construction Industry

• When processed into specific forms, lime calcium powder is used in:

  • Cement and concrete production to enhance strength.

  • Mortars and plasters for better binding and durability.

  • Soil stabilization in road construction.

6. Other Industrial Applications

• Paper Industry: Used in the pulping and bleaching process.

• Sugar Industry: Assists in clarifying sugarcane juice during refining.

• Environmental Protection: Applied in flue gas desulfurization (removal of SO₂ from exhaust gases).

• Chemical Industry: Raw material for producing calcium-based chemicals and salts.
