Uses of Industrial Lime & Gypsum

Industrial lime is used for a wide variety of purposes in industry, including:

• Construction (building construction, soil stabilization, asphalt)
• Metallurgy (iron, steel, nonferrous metal)
• Sugar and paper manufacturing and processing
• Enviromental (flue gas desulfurization, sludge, animal waste, wastewater, hazardous wastes)
• Cement Manufacturing

Advantages of using industrial lime & gypsum products:

• Water purification – lime is highly effective in the purification of potable and industrial water. Hydrated water purification lime is routinely used to soften water and adjust the pH levels, thereby neutralising acidity levels, reducing corrosion of water pipes and mains and eliminating the growth of dangerous bacteria and pathogens.


• Soil stabilisation - Roadlime is an unparalleled aid in the modification and stabilization of soil beneath road and similar construction projects.  Using Roadlime can substantially increase the stability, impermeability and load-bearing capacity of the sub base.  It is an excellent choice for modification of soil properties as it modifies almost all fine-grained soils, though the most dramatic improvement occurs in clay soils of moderate to high plasticity.  Modification occurs because calcium cations supplied by Roadlime, replace the cations normally present on the surface of the clay mineral, promoted by the high pH environment of the lime-water system.


• Waste treatment – lime is widely used as a flocculant in water and sewage treatment. It stabilises residual sludge and treats bio solids before being recycled to the agricultural sector. It aids coagulation, makes sludge easier to handle and limits bad odours.
