Product DescriptionHydrated lime, Calcium hydroxide
Limestone, sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), usually in the form calcite or aragonite.
It may contain considerable amount of magnesium carbonate (dolomite) as well; minor constituents also commonlypresent include clay, iron carbonate, feldspar, pyrite, and quartz.
Major Applications:It is raw material for the manufacture of quicklime (Calcium Oxide), slaked lime (Calcium Hydroxide), cement and mortar.Limestone is especially popular in architecture, and landmarks around the world.Pulverized limestone is used as soil conditioner to neutralize acid solids.It is crushed for use as aggregate- solid base for many roads.As a reagent in flu-gas desulfurization, it reacts with sulfur dioxide for pollution control, glass making, in some circumstances, uses limestone.It is added to toothpaste, paper, plastics, paint, tiles and other materials as both white pigment and cheap filler.It can suppress methane explosions in underground coal mines purified, it is added to bread and cereals as a source of calcium.Calcium levels in livestock feeds are supplemented with it, such as poultry (when ground up)It can be used for remineralizing and increasing the alkalinity of purified water to prevent pipe corrosion and to restore essential nutrient levels.It is used in sculptures because of its suitability for carving.It is often found in medicines and cosmetics.Used in blast furnaces, limestone binds with silica and other impurities to remove them from iron.
