Description :

Overview of Limestone

Limestone is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It is one of the most widely used industrial minerals due to its high availability, chemical stability, and versatility across multiple industries. Limestone plays a critical role in construction, metallurgy, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, and environmental applications.

In industrial applications, Limestone is valued for its consistent chemical composition, controlled particle size, and excellent reactivity. It is commonly used alongside Calcium Oxide (Quicklime), Calcium Hydroxide (Slaked Lime), and Dolomite, available on ChemicalBull, offering comprehensive solutions for construction materials, chemical processing, and environmental treatment.

Applications of Limestone

Construction & Infrastructure

• Used in cement and concrete manufacturing

• Acts as a base material for roads, buildings, and foundations

Metallurgy & Steel Industry

• Used as a flux to remove impurities during steel and iron production

• Improves slag formation and metal purity

Chemical & Industrial Processing

• Raw material for producing calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide

• Used in glass manufacturing, fillers, and chemical intermediates

Environmental Applications

• Neutralizes acidic soils and wastewater

• Used in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) to control sulfur dioxide emissions

Agriculture

• Improves soil pH and fertility

• Supplies calcium for plant growth

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Use gloves, dust masks, and protective eyewear during handling

• Avoid inhalation of fine limestone dust

• Store in a dry area to prevent moisture absorption

• Follow MSDS and standard industrial safety practices
