Lime is essential for managing environmental challenges like water and air pollution, soil stabilization, and waste management, contributing significantly to sustainability and public health. In construction, it’s used as quicklime and hydrated lime, underscoring its vital role in eco-friendly building practices.
Market Needs
Lime is vital in wastewater treatment for pH adjustment, coagulation and flocculation, phosphorus removal, sludge stabilization, water softening, and heavy metal precipitation. These processes help in improving the quality of the treated water and making it safe for discharge or reuse.
Solution
In wastewater treatment, quicklime (calcium oxide), hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide), and dolomitic lime (calcium magnesium oxide) are used for pH adjustment, coagulation, phosphorus removal, sludge stabilization, water softening, and heavy metal precipitation. Each type offers specific benefits that contribute to cleaner and safer treated water.
