High Purity Quicklime Calcium Oxide

Lime is a term designating a type of quick or hydrated lime(as known as Bulk Quicklime Calcium Oxide,  High Quality Calcium Oxide and High Purity Calcium Oxide).Chemical lime is a white solid having a crystalline structure. Quicklime is highly reactive with water, generating considerable heat in the hydration process. This material will react with the moisture in the air, and as such, it has found application as a desiccant. In the presence of moisture, the lime reacts slowly with the carbon dioxide of the air, forming water insoluble carbonates. As a chemically active material it is desirable to reduce atmospheric exposure during handling and storage to a minimum.

Quicklime is available by the carload, in bulk dump or tanker, and in 50 Ib. paper bags and one ton bulk bags and a number of more or less standard sizes as follows:

Lump lime : the product with a maximum size of eight inches in diameter.

Crusted or pebble lime : the product ranging in size from about 1/4 to 2 inches.

Ground lime : the product resulting from grinding the larger sized material. A typical size is substantially all material passing a No. 8 sieve and 40 to 60 percent passing a No. 100 sieve.

Pulverized lime : the product resulting from a more intense grinding than is used to produce ground lime. A typical size is all material substantially passing a No. 20 sieve and 85 to 95 percent passing a No. 100 sieve

Pelletized lime : one inch sized pellets or briquettes, molded from quicklime fines.
