Lime for Chemical Processing

Neutralisation, precipitation and pH control across chemical manufacture.

The application

What lime does in chemical processing

Lime is one of the cheapest strong alkalis available at industrial scale, which makes it the default reagent for neutralising acidic streams and driving precipitation reactions. Deshwali Minerals product pages name fluxing and neutralisation duty directly.

Where it is used

01Neutralisation of acidic process streams and effluent
02Precipitation and pH control in chemical synthesis
03Feedstock for downstream calcium chemicals
04Acid gas and flue gas scrubbing

A chemical process plant with stainless steel reactor vessels and pipework, where lime is used for neutralisation and precipitation

What decides the grade and the price

Five things the sales desk will ask. Having them ready turns a first call into a quotation.

01Quantity per consignment and how often — a one-off lot and a monthly contract are priced differently.
02The form that suits your intake: lumps, a ground powder or hydrated lime, and the size fraction your feed system takes.
03The parameters that matter for the duty — for a flux it is CaO and reactivity; for dosing it is particle size and available lime.
04Packing for the journey and the storage at your end: bags, jumbo bags or bulk.
05Delivery point and the dates material is needed on site, so transport is priced to the door.
