Ag-lime is generally used to increase soil pH, which can increase crop yields among a wide range of soil conditions.Improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil
Hydrated lime is essential to the production of sugar from both sugar cane and sugar beets. Sugar cane and sugar beets are harvested and processed with water to form raw juice, which has low pH and contains dissolved impurities.
Lime is a primary raw material for paper and pulp industry. Both Quick Lime and Hydrated Lime are essentially required for the manufacturing of pulp and paper in order to enhance the quality of paper by maximizing its opacity.
Steel plays one of the crucial roles in Automotive Industries, Constructions and country’s economy and security.In steel manufacture Quick Lime acts as a flux in purifying steel. Lime is also used in metallurgical plants and refractory’s thus making it integral to metal manufacturing.
Lime is used by many municipalities to improve water quality, especially for water softening and arsenic removal. Indeed, the American Water Works Association has issued standards that provide for the use of lime in drinking water treatment.
It's used in the production of chemicals such as Calcium Carbide and Cyanimide, Calcium phosphates, Calcium silicates, High alumina cement, Titanium oxide, Citric acid, Magnesium nitrate, Sodium chloride, etc.Lime products provide a source of calcium, alkali, desiccant, lubricant etc.
Lime is a truly versatile material widely used in the construction of buildings. It can be utilized in masonry applications as a component of mortar or of the masonry unit. Exterior (stucco) and interior plaster systems can also contain lime. Finally, decorative finishes can be created with lime washes.
When lime is heated with silica sand (SiO2) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), a solution is formed that does not crystallize when cooled. Instead, it hardens to an amorphous, clear and nearly colorless solid - namely, glass.Limestone and lime are the fluxing materials for glass.
Since time immemorial lime has been used for dehairing and plumping hides preparatory to leather tanning. A cleaning agent in the leather manufacture process, lime is used to remove raw skin and thus obtain clean leather.
Lime is one of the alkalis employed to neutralize the acidity in the cream before pasteurization. Addition of lime in the fermented skimmed milk forms calcium lactate, which is marketed as a medicine or further acidified to manufacture lactic acid.
All precipitated calcium carbonate, widely employed as a paint pigment, is derived from lime. It is also used in manufacturing of cement paints and is used as filler as well.The limewash should be applied in several thin coats. Avoid runs or drips running down the face of the work.
Lime is used in stabilizing the inplace- soils or aggregate used in road building. Hydrated Lime helps in forming an impermeable base thereby reducing the chances of seepage of rainwater.Finally, decorative finishes can be created with lime washes. The dominant construction-related use of lime is soil stabilization for roads, building foundations, and earthen dams.
Lime is widely used in the manufacturing of most calcium- based pharmaceuticals.
Aerated Concrete (AAC) material was developed in 1924 in Sweden. It has become one of the most used building materials in Europe and is rapidly growing in many other countries around the world. AAC is produced from the common materials lime, sand, cement and water, and a small amount of rising agent.
Quicklime reacts with any free water present to form hydrated lime. This removes water from the system and can be useful when dealing with products that are heated during the manufacturing process, such as plastic. When making plastic, if any potential water is not removed then steam bubbles may occur in the finished product, which can affect its strength and appearance. Quicklime is therefore often used in PVC and rubber manufacturing processes.
As apples and other fruit ripen, they emit carbon dioxide. When in storage, the carbon dioxide lowers the level of oxygen in the atmosphere and accelerates the rate of deterioration of the fruit. By circulating air around the fruit and over hydrated lime, the level of carbon dioxide is reduced and the fruit remains fresh and useable for longer. Lime can also be used to neutralise waste citric acid and to raise the pH of fruit juices to stabilise the flavour and colour. Residues from processing citrus when mixed with lime can then be dried and sold as cattle feed.
Always choose agricultural limestone (CaCO3) for application in your fishpond. You can also use Hydrated lime (Ca (OH)2) which is an inexpensive and effective pond sterilizer. However, it is known to raise the pH quickly and dramatically above tolerable levels for most aquatic organisms.

High-purity refractory “dolomite” (frequently called Doloma) and lower purity fettling grade “dead-burned dolomite” (usually referred to as DBD) are both manufactured by calcining dolomitic limestone. The production method is similar to the manufacture of ordinary lime, except that the burning time is longer and temperatures considerably higher (in the range of 1600 – 1850º C). High purity doloma is fired in rotary kilns to the upper end of the temperature range and without the addition of impurities. High purity doloma is used to manufacture refractory bricks employed in cement and lime rotary kiln linings, and in steel ladles and refining vessels.
