Steel & Other Metal Production
The lime is derived from the calcination of limestone. CaCO3 + heat → CaO + CO2 ↑
Then if hydrated, exotherm reaction is generated and lime is produced.
CaO + H2O → Ca (OH) 2 + 15 kcal
Wastewater & Sludge Treatment
One of the appropriate methods for treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater is calcification.
Bulding & Construction
Lime is used as a main ingredient in masonry mortar for centuries , and this important use continues today in both historical and in modern applications.
Fiber Wool Enrichment
One of the main raw materials for the production of fiber wool is the low graded lime. Lime is used to bond the fibers together and to shape the …
Flue Gas Treatment
CaO Hellas has developed a new system of dry desulphurization (Dry Sorbent Injection) using specialized products, Greenlime. This system is designed mostly for flue gas desulphurisation derived from burning lignite / coal.
Soil Stabilization & Road Construction
Ο ασβέστης μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για τη βελτίωση εδαφών, ώστε να βελτιωθεί η λειτουργικότητά τους και τα φυσικά χαρακτηριστικά σε μια σειρά από καταστάσεις όπως:
Agricultural Use

Chemical Industry
The lime used in the manufacture of many inorganic and organic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Also used to produce soda,sugar and refractory materials.
Treatment of non-ferrous Metals
Lime is a key ingredient in the production of non -ferrous metals .
Both anhydrous lime and hydrated lime are widely used in flotation or recovery of many non – ferrous metals – particularly copper ore flotation in which lime acts as a sedative (precipitation strengthening…
