Physical properties

Physical appearance,

Fineness by retention on 90 micron sieve,

Quick lime is widely used in various types industries. It has numbers of applications.

General use
General use of quick lime is manufacture hydrated lime. Quick lime is key ingredient for the cement manufacturing process.

Light weight block
Quick lime is widely used to manufacture light weight block. It reacts with aluminum and formation of hydrogen takes place which increase the volume of mass.

Petroleum industries
Water detection pastes contain a mix of calcium oxide and phenolphthalein . Should this paste come into contact with water in a fuel storage tank, the CaO reacts with the water to form calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide has a high enough pH to turn the phenolphthalein a vivid purplish-pink color, thus indicating the presence of water.

Paper industries
Quick lime is used to regenerate sodium hydroxide from sodium carbonate in chemical recovery of kraft pulp industries.
