Lime is the commonly used name for calcium oxide, a chemical compound found abundantly. It is white in color, crystalline, alkaline, and caustic in nature. Generally, the ‘lime' word is used for the calcium-containing inorganic compounds like carbonates, sulfates, hydroxides, and oxides. It is generally made up of the thermal decomposition of seashells and limestones containing calcium carbonate. This process is called calcination. Quicklime is used in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS), making aerated concrete blocks & cement, and treatment of water. Solid lime cartridges use the exothermic properties of quicklime to break rocks in the mines.
Market Dynamics
There has been an increase in the production and extraction of minerals in the last decade. The increasing demand for carbonates, sulphates, and oxides of calcium from various industries is likely to boost the market growth. The extensive use of Lime in metallurgy for eliminating the impurities is augmenting the demand for Lime. Additionally, the demand for calcium carbonate for the production of paints, plastic, paper, and calcium-based tablets and supplements is also expected to foster market growth. However, the negative effects on the wildlife habitat due to quarrying are expected to hinder the market growth.
