Lime: a widely used "industrial panacea"
Lime, as a traditional industrial material with a long history and wide applications, plays an irreplaceable role in many fields such as construction, metallurgy, environmental protection, agriculture, etc. due to its unique chemical and physical properties.
In the field of architecture: the "adhesive" for building the foundation stone
Lime is the core raw material of traditional building materials. In ancient times, lime was mixed with clay to make "three in one soil", which was used to build large buildings such as city walls and palaces. It has stood firm for thousands of years. In modern architecture, lime is still an important component of masonry mortar and plastering mortar, which can enhance the bonding strength and impermeability of mortar; Lime paste is used for wall plastering, which can make the wall smooth and reduce the risk of hollowing and cracking; In road engineering, lime stabilized soil can enhance the strength and stability of roadbeds and reduce road surface settlement.
Metallurgical and Chemical Industry: Catalysts for Industrial Production
In the metallurgical industry, lime is a key auxiliary material for ironmaking and steelmaking. During ironmaking, lime acts as a flux and reacts with impurities such as gangue and coke ash in the ore to produce slag, achieving impurity separation; In steelmaking, lime is used for slag making, dephosphorization, desulfurization, purification of molten steel, and improvement of steel quality. In the field of chemical engineering, lime is used to produce products such as calcium carbide, bleaching powder, and calcium carbonate, and is an important raw material in the chemical industry chain.
Environmentally friendly agriculture: a versatile player in ecological protection
In terms of environmental protection, lime is the "environmental guardian" of flue gas desulfurization, which can react with sulfur dioxide to produce calcium sulfate and reduce flue gas pollution; In sewage treatment, lime is used to adjust pH value, remove heavy metal ions, and purify sewage. In the field of agriculture, lime can improve acidic soil, neutralize soil acidity, release nutrients, and improve soil structure; It can also be used for disinfection in livestock and poultry breeding, killing bacteria, and ensuring the safety of the breeding environment.
