1, How it's produced:
Quicklime is produced by heating crushed limestone to around 1,100 degrees Celsius in a shaft furnace or rotary kiln. The heating of limestone releases carbon dioxide, leaving calcium oxide (CaCO3 produces CaO + CO2). After heating, the quicklime is crushed and then milled to the appropriate fraction.
2, Uses:
Quicklime has a wide range of uses, including in the production of iron and steel, paper and pulp production, treatment of water and flue gases and in the mining industry, agriculture like soil treatment, sugar mills, aquacultures and so on.
3, Main Markets:
Quicklime manufactured in Vietnam has been exporting to Taiwan, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, South Korea and so on.
