Our products support industrial, agricultural, construction, and water-treatment operations that require dependable quality and consistent supply.

Product Description – Lime

This calcium-based material is commonly available in two principal forms: Quicklime (Calcium Oxide – CaO) and Hydrated Lime (Calcium Hydroxide – Ca(OH)₂). Each type has different characteristics and should be selected according to the intended process.

Quicklime results from heating limestone at high temperatures to drive off carbon dioxide and produce calcium oxide. It reacts strongly with water, releasing heat and producing calcium hydroxide.

Hydrated Lime, also called Slaked Lime, typically appears as a fine white or off-white powder. Industries value it for alkalinity, acid neutralization, pH adjustment, and precipitation processes.

Water-treatment facilities use calcium hydroxide for pH correction and softening, while construction companies use suitable grades in mortar, plaster, masonry, and soil stabilization. Mining, sugar, chemical, and metallurgical industries also rely on calcium-based alkaline materials for various processing requirements.

Sanvil Industries Ltd supplies suitable specifications for industrial, construction, agricultural, and water-treatment customers throughout East Africa.

Applications of Lime

1. Water Treatment

Treatment facilities use calcium hydroxide to adjust pH, increase alkalinity, support water softening, and assist selected precipitation processes.

2. Wastewater Treatment

Industrial and municipal plants use alkaline calcium compounds to neutralize acidic wastewater and maintain suitable treatment conditions.

3. Construction

Builders use suitable grades in mortar, plaster, masonry, rendering, and various building-material formulations.

4. Soil Stabilization

Civil engineering projects use calcium-based binders to improve the engineering properties of certain clay-rich soils during road and foundation construction.

5. Agricultural Soil Management

Suitable agricultural materials can help manage acidic soil conditions and supply calcium. Application rates should follow soil analysis and agronomic recommendations.

6. Mining and Mineral Processing

Mining companies use alkaline calcium compounds for pH adjustment and selected mineral-processing operations.

7. Sugar Processing

Sugar manufacturers use appropriate grades during juice clarification and purification processes.

8. Steel Manufacturing

Steel producers use calcium oxide as a flux to assist impurity removal during selected metallurgical operations.

9. Chemical Manufacturing

Chemical companies use CaO and Ca(OH)₂ as raw materials, neutralizing agents, and processing chemicals.

10. Flue Gas Treatment

Industrial emission-control systems may use calcium hydroxide to neutralize certain acidic gases.

11. Road Construction

Contractors use suitable material for selected road-base improvement and ground-stabilization projects.

12. Industrial pH Control

Manufacturers use alkaline calcium compounds to neutralize acidic process streams and control pH.

Safety & Handling

Calcium Oxide and Calcium Hydroxide require careful handling because of their strongly alkaline properties.

Quicklime reacts with water and releases considerable heat. Workers should use appropriate gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and suitable respiratory protection where airborne dust presents an exposure risk.

Keep the material dry and store it in properly sealed packaging away from incompatible substances. Always consult the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling or using the product.

FAQs

Q1. What is this product mainly used for?

A: Common applications include water treatment, wastewater management, construction, mining, agriculture, soil stabilization, sugar processing, steel production, and chemical manufacturing.

Q2. What is the difference between Quicklime and Hydrated Lime?

A: Quicklime primarily consists of Calcium Oxide (CaO). Adding controlled amounts of water converts it into Calcium Hydroxide [Ca(OH)₂], commonly called Hydrated or Slaked Lime.

Q3. Can it be used for water treatment?

A: Yes. Calcium hydroxide is commonly used for pH adjustment, alkalinity control, softening, and selected precipitation processes.

Q4. Can it be used in wastewater treatment?

A: Yes. Its alkaline properties make it useful for neutralizing acidic wastewater and supporting selected treatment operations.

Q5. Is it suitable for construction?

A: Yes. Construction grades are used in mortar, plaster, masonry, rendering, soil stabilization, and other building applications.

Q6. Can farmers use it on agricultural land?

A: Suitable agricultural materials can support soil management, but farmers should select the correct product based on soil testing and agronomic recommendations.

Q7. Is it suitable for mining operations?

A: Yes. Mining and mineral-processing facilities use suitable calcium-based alkaline materials for pH control and other processing requirements.

Q8. What packaging sizes are available?

A: Depending on the product specification, we can supply 1 kg, 5 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg bags, and bulk quantities.

Q9. Can I request technical documentation?

A: Yes. COA, TDS, and SDS/MSDS documents are available upon request for applicable products and batches.
