What is Quick Lime Powder?
Quick Lime Powder, also known as Calcium Oxide (CaO), is a fine white powder produced by the thermal decomposition of limestone. This versatile compound is widely used in various industries due to its alkaline properties. Quick Lime Powder plays a crucial role in applications such as water treatment, construction, steel manufacturing, and chemical processing.
Its ability to neutralize acidity, stabilize soil, and act as a fluxing agent in metallurgy makes it a valuable resource for many industries. Quick Lime Lumps manufactured in-house are crushed into fine powder. The powder is then packed in airtight bags. It is mostly used in AAC Blocks, Plastic Industry, etc.
How is Quick Lime Powder Produced?
Quick lime is produced by heating high-purity limestone (calcium carbonate) in rotary kilns or shaft kilns at temperatures above 900°C. This thermal decomposition process removes carbon dioxide (CO₂), leaving behind pure calcium oxide.
CaCO3→CaO+CO2

Uses Of Quick Lime Powder
- Lighting: When the quicklime is heated to temperatures of 2,400 degrees Celsius (4,350 degF) it produces an intense light. This kind of light is referred to as limelight. It was widely employed in theatre productions prior to the introduction of electric lights.
- Cement: Quick lime powder is a crucial component in cement production. As an affordable and readily available base alkali, approximately 50% of the total quicklime output is converted into calcium hydroxide for use. Both quick lime and hydrated lime are used to purify of water used in drinking.
- Paper: Quick lime/Calcium oxide is used for the regeneration of sodium hydroxide from sodium carbonate in the chemical process used to recover it in Kraft paper mills.
- Plaster: There’s archeological evidence that suggests that the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B people made use of lime-based mortar for flooring as well as other purposes. Lime-ash floors were in use until the late nineteenth century.
- Chemical or Power Production: Solid sprays or slurries of calcium oxide are used to remove sulfur dioxide from exhaust gases in a process known as flue-gas desulfurization.
- Mining: Solid lime cartridges take advantage of quicklime’s exothermic properties to fracture rocks. A hole is drilled into the rock as usual, a sealed cartridge of quicklime is inserted, and then water is added. The resulting steam, along with the expanded solid, breaks the rock apart. This method is ineffective for hard rocks.
- Medicine: Quick lime powder is used in medicine, as well as in insecticides, and as a component in the food and feed of plants and animals for laboratory purposes, including gas absorption, precipitation, dehydration, etc.
- Water Softening: It is also used for softening water and in the recovery of ammonia (by-product of the Solvay process).
- Soil Improvement: Quicklime helps enhance the quality of soil.
