Quicklime Lumps - Calcium Oxide, Whitish Odourless Alkaline Substance For Industrial Applications, Waste Water Treatment, And Metal Smelting

We are exporting and supplying of Quicklime Lumps to our patrons. This is a Calcium oxide formed by calcining calcium carbonate (lime stone) so that carbon dioxide is liberated. Quicklime 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 Quicklime.
A chemical compound with formula (CaO) it is a whitish, odourless alkaline substance, which 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. Quicklime is created by heating limestone as shown in the following equation:
Chemical formula : CaCO3 + HEAT = CaO + CO2
