High Calcium Oxide

Quicklime (or calcium oxide, or burnt lime), is obtained by calcining (controlled heating - time and temperature) limestone at temperatures above 900°C in controlled conditions. This highly reactive product is essential to many industrial processes.

Chemical formula: CaO

Available products (usually defined by size gradation) : pebble, ground, milled, fluidized lime, dust-free lime

Dolomitic

Dolomitic quicklime is the name given to the quicklime formed from calcining a natural dolomitic limestone that contains nearly an equal molar weight percentage of calcium oxide to magnesium oxide. Ideally, this quicklime would contain 56% calcium oxide, 40% magnesium oxide, and 4% other major lime impurities such as iron oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, and sulfur.
