Lime, also referred to as Quicklime (calcium oxide – CaO). To make it, limestone (CaCO3) is broken up and shoveled into a kiln, which is heated to very high temperatures. The high temperatures release carbon dioxide (CO2) from the stone, turning it into calcium oxide.

Quicklime is a widely used chemical compound used in a variety of markets that surround our everyday life such as construction, environmental, oil and gas and industrial processes.

In the construction market, quicklime is highly effective at reducing soil plasticity index, reducing the shrink/swell potential and resisting potentially harmful freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles.

In environmental applications, quicklime will adjust the pH of waste streams, reducing heavy metals solubility.

In the industrial markets, quicklime makes the air we breathe cleaner, removes impurities in steelmaking processes, and makes the water we drink safer.

Quicklime can help repair and even prevent landslide in the oil and gas industry by drying overly wet soils and modifying soils to provide greater internal friction helping to increase construction and overall productivity.
