Calcined Lime (Quicklime)

Calcined lime, also known as quicklime, is produced by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) at temperatures between 900 and 1100°C. During this process, carbon dioxide is released, resulting in a material primarily composed of calcium oxide (CaO). As a highly alkaline and versatile material, calcined lime is widely used in steelmaking, chemical production, metallurgy, construction, and water treatment industries.
