Limestone

The main component of limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Lime and limestone are a large amount of raw materials used in construction materials and industry. Limestone can be directly processed into stone and burned into quicklime. Quicklime CaO becomes slaked lime by absorbing moisture or adding water. The main component of slaked lime is Ca (OH) 2, which can be called calcium hydroxide. Slaked lime is formulated into lime slurry, lime paste, etc., used as coating material and tile adhesive .
It is widely used in varied industries for environmental protection and use in industrial processes and applications, in the non-ferrous metals and minerals, iron and steel, chemicals, portable water, pulp and paper, oil & gas, cement and construction, agriculture, animal husbandry and aquaculture. Other applications are in waste water and sludge treatment, sugar refining, flue gas treatment, glass and ceramics, roads and soil stabilization, food preparation, supplements and many more.
