About Quick Lime
Quick lime — calcium oxide — is produced by calcining select high-calcium limestone from the Gotan–Borunda limestone belt in our pet coke-fired kilns at Borunda, Rajasthan. Petroleum coke burns hot, clean and steady, so the stone is calcined in the reactive window and picks up none of the ash that coal firing leaves behind. The lumps are specified at CaO 85% minimum, MgO 2.5% max., silica 2.0% max. and R₂O₃ 0.25% max. It is the workhorse reagent of heavy industry: a flux in steelmaking, a neutralising agent in chemical processing, a stabiliser in road and soil works, and a disinfectant in water treatment.
Deshwali Minerals supplies quick lime in lump and graded fractions, matched to the feed system it has to run through. Every consignment is drawn from a controlled burn and released against the size and reactivity band agreed at the time of order, so what arrives on site behaves the way your process expects.

Where Quick Lime is used
The duty determines the grade. These are the applications this product is technically suited to.
- 01Fluxing agent in steel and ferro-alloy melting
- 02Neutralisation of acidic effluent and process streams
- 03Soil stabilisation for roads, embankments and sub-grades
- 04Water and wastewater disinfection and pH correction
- 05Environmental remediation and sludge conditioning

Choosing the right quick lime for the duty
The grade, the size fraction and the packing follow from how the material will be used. These are the points the sales desk settles with you before quoting.
- 01
The duty
A flux, a reagent for pH correction, a stabiliser under a road or a binder in mortar each weigh the parameters differently: reactivity for a melt shop, particle size for a dosing plant.
- 02
What your intake takes
Lump sizes for a kiln or furnace charge; a ground powder or hydrated lime for a feeder, slurry tank or silo. The size fraction is screened to the system it feeds.
- 03
The parameters that matter
Agree the specification lines that decide fitness — CaO or available lime, MgO and silica limits, reactivity, moisture, sieve size — and the test method for each, so the certificate answers the right question.
- 04
The journey and the storage
Packing is chosen against transit distance, the season and what will unload and store the material at the destination.
- 05
Quantity and schedule
A one-off lot and a monthly contract are produced and priced differently. Consignments start at the minimum order and are scheduled around confirmed dates.
Packing, storage and transport
Lime degrades on contact with moisture and air. How it is packed and stored is a technical decision, not a cosmetic one.
Packing
- 10 kg bags
- 40 kg bags
- Jumbo bags
- Loose / bulk tipper
Recommended against transit distance and destination conditions.
Storage
- Store in a dry, covered, well-ventilated area, clear of the ground.
- Keep sealed until use — quick lime reacts with atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, losing available lime over time.
- Rotate stock; use oldest consignments first.
Transport
- Dispatched in covered trucks or bulk tippers from Borunda, Jodhpur.
- Jumbo bags palletised or slung; bagged goods stacked and sheeted.
- Containerised loading available for export consignments.
Safety
- Quick lime is caustic and reacts exothermically with water.
- Handle with gloves, goggles and dust protection.
- Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before handling. —

Ask on WhatsAppThe minimum order quantity for Quick Lime is 44 tonnes. GST at 5% and transport are charged extra on the ex-works rate.
Quick Lime is supplied in 10 kg and 40 kg bags and jumbo bags, with bulk options where your handling allows. Packing is recommended against the transit distance and destination conditions, because lime degrades on contact with moisture and air.
Yes. The size fraction and grade are agreed at the quotation stage and the consignment is screened or ground to match. Tell us the duty the material has to perform and we will recommend the fraction.
The specification parameters are listed on this page. The verified figures for each parameter are supplied by the company against your specific grade requirement — this site does not publish specification values that have not been confirmed by the plant.
Store dry, under cover and sealed until use, clear of the ground, and rotate stock so the oldest consignment is used first. Lime reacts with atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, which reduces available lime over time.
