Limestone or limestone soil is a mineral lime powder that is obtained by crushing limestone or calcium carbonate with the molecular formula CaCO3. For the production of limestone powder, according to the needs of consumers, high calcium lime or dolomite lime, which has the formula of calcium magnesium carbonate, can be used. Also, Other types of stone powder such as marble and granite powder also have similar uses and characteristics.
Application of different types of lime powder in different industries
One of the types of lime powder is this composition, which has many industrial applications and is used in the paper production industry as a coagulant in wastewater treatment, in the production of ammonia, and as a pH modifier. In fact, the most important application of this chemical compound is as a coagulant in water and wastewater treatment. Hydrated lime creates a charged softener in the water that helps remove smaller particles from the water and produces a clearer product.
This method has higher applicability due to the low cost and low toxicity of calcium hydroxide. This compound is also used in fresh water treatment to raise the pH of the water to fill pipes where acidic water can be consumed, as it is a pH regulator and prevents the acidity from increasing.
In the food industry, this compound is used to produce sugar from sugarcane. It is also used in the production of animal feed and fertilizers. This substance is used to produce alcoholic beverages and soft drinks. Another application of hydrated lime is the removal of corn cellulose husks.
Another type of lime powder is blue lime mortar, which is made from a combination of 75 to 85% cao and clay. This lime blooms slowly and has a small increase in volume. As its name suggests, it gets trapped under water and hardens.
Semi-hydrated lime is another type of lime powder, which is a kind of pure lime with only a small amount of clay and has a higher resistance compared to the Quick sample. Semi-hydrated lime is used for foundation in low sulfate soils. This sample blooms slowly and its volume increase is insignificant. The setting of semi-hydrated lime takes place in water, after which it becomes very hard.
Another type of lime powder is dolomite lime, which uses dolomite like lime, although the presence of magnesium in this material has limited the use of dolomite compared to lime. Some types of dolomite limestone have a very beautiful appearance, so it is used as an ornamental stone. Sometimes it is also used in the production of concrete due to its high strength. The presence of magnesium in dolomite limestone has caused them to be used as a source for the production of magnesium oxide.
Considering that lime is one of the main elements in iron smelting industries and is consumed in large quantities, in cases where the cost of lime is high, dolomite can be used as a less valuable type of lime in order to reduce costs. The largest consumption of dolomite lime is in the production of float glass. Float glass is produced by placing molten glass on a layer of tin.
Dolomite lime is also used in agriculture. Dolomite lime can be useful in agriculture for the purpose of correcting the pH of acidic soils and also having magnesium element. Its pH adjustment property is also effective for maintaining the water quality of aquariums. Also, a huge part of dolomite limestone is used for the purpose of paving roads, production of building blocks, production of cement, concrete and asphalt.
