Our Cricket
Mountain Facility is capable of producing and
blending a range of quicklime and dolomitic products
|
|
Dolomitic Quicklime is lime made from high quality deposits
of dolomitic limestone; limestone containing 40% to 44% magnesium
carbonate (MgCO3). Dolomitic lime (MgO·CaO) commonly
known as dolime is a widely used chemical compound. It is
a white, caustic and alkaline crystalline solid. As a commercial
product dolomitic lime often contains small amounts of silicon
dioxide and trace amounts of aluminum and iron oxides.
The primary chemical reaction involved in dolomitic lime manufacture
is as shown below:
CaCO3 + MgCO3 + HEAT = CaO + MgO + 2CO2
Dolomitic quicklime products have many uses including use
as a flux and slag conditioner in steelmaking, environmental
applications, and wastewater treatment. Graymont has dolomitic
quicklime available in all of its business regions.
