Industry Overview
Lime is a calcium-containing inorganic mineral primarily composed of calcium oxides and hydroxides, including calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide. The material has been used since ancient times, with its name originating from its historical application as a building mortar due to its binding properties. Lime and its related products continue to play an important role in construction, engineering, chemical processing, sugar refining, wastewater treatment, and various industrial applications.
The primary raw materials for lime production are limestone and chalk, which mainly consist of calcium carbonate. These materials undergo calcination in lime kilns to produce quicklime (calcium oxide), which can further react with water through slaking to form hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide). Hydrated lime and quicklime are widely used due to their alkaline properties and chemical reactivity.
Lime production has historical significance across both the Old World and New World, and modern manufacturing processes involve quarrying, stone preparation, calcination, hydration, and product handling. The resulting lime products serve diverse industries, including construction, environmental treatment, agriculture, and chemical manufacturing.
