Hydrated Lime Industry - Production from Limestone

Hydrated Lime Industry – Production from Limestone

Hydrated lime, a powdered calcium hydroxide formed with the reaction of quicklime and water, goes through the process of hydration and differs shaking. Lime is an extremely useful chemical that comes second to petroleum which is further used for various purposes such as hydroxylation, absorption, and coagulation. Lime is even used in the field of agriculture where it plays an important role in fertilizing and soil, conditioning. In addition to this, it is even used in livestock feed, medicines, and insecticides. Furthermore, it is even used in various other industries, to cite an example, chemical and leather industries use lime for liming, others include fields like paper, soap, steel, and cement. There are many lime hydration facilities, the world over. One of them is a non-pressure environment, often used for calcium quicklime with a lesser amount of magnesium oxide. Another one comprises of a high-pressure process where the amount of magnesium oxide is high as compared to the non-pressure environment process.

According to NIIR Project Consultancy Services (NPCs), the lime industry is one of the essential fields where lots of other industries depend on its production in order to complete their product and services, thus, lime is a vital character in fulfilling many requirements, so initiating its business is loaded with immense benefits and profits to a greater extent.

Growth in the Market of Lime Industry

It was forecasted that the lime industry is about to grow by 31.24 MMT during the period of 2018 to 2022. Also, it is to expand and reach a value of US$ 64.5 Bn at a CAGR of 6 percent by the end of 2027. A pure white form of hydrated lime, a caustic solid substance, is taken by calcining limestone and other calcium carbonates. It has become a very crucial element of industrial and agriculture purpose due to its physical and chemical properties and simple steps involved in its production. India is one of the key regions in the field of the lime industry and its growth.

It has a greater role in the cement industry as an apt proportion of hydrated lime in the cement-based mixture helps workability, and it becomes handy. Also, it increases water retention, helping to improvise the bond with the substrate. The project of the lime industry would be highly beneficial for the investors as geographically it is a driven market and also due to coal mining, coal production, and the need for a huge supply of pesticides in the Asian regions, the demand for hydrated lime is expected to further have a demanding position in the coming future. Where on one hand India and China are the largest consumers of the hydrated lime, Europe having a large market of steel would need a good amount of hydrated lime, tending to increase the market of hydrated lime with an advanced reservation along with a promise of profitable business in the coming future. Some of its major players in the lime industry are Mississippi Lime Company, Pete Lien and Sons, Inc., Linwood Mining and Mineral Corp., Lhoist, Cheney Lime and Cement Company, Unites Stated Lime and Minerals Inc., etc.
