Several of our most important industrial processes rely on lime products to optimize both the quality of the final product and the lifespan of production equipment.
Steel manufacturers use lime as a slag former to remove impurities in the melt. Lime and dolomite are also used to protect the steel from oxidation.
Lime is also required in the paper industry to recycle chemicals that are essential for the process. Both combined heat and power plants and industries also use lime products to purify flue gases. By neutralizing and precipitating pollutants with lime-based products, flue gases are purified from sulfur, chlorine, and fluorine before leaving the chimney.
In the mining industry, lime plays a vital role in every step of the mining process. Lime regulates pH and is also used for stabilization, drainage, filling, and filtration.
