Minerals Processing Plants
Limestone (calcium carbonate - CaCO₃) Grinding Plant – Kallar Kahar, Pakistan
Active Lime Processing
Hasan Abdal, Attock District, Punjab
1. Limestone Calcination
- Chemical Reaction: Limestone (CaCO₃) is heated to produce quicklime (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). CaCO3→CaO+CO2
- Process: Limestone is heated in rotary or shaft kilns at temperatures between 900-1000°C to decompose into quicklime.
- Equipment: Kilns are equipped with advanced temperature and air control systems for optimal calcination.
2. Cooling and Storage
- Cooling: The quicklime is rapidly cooled in cooling chambers to prevent rehydration.
- Storage: Cooled lime is stored in silos or bins to protect it from moisture and contamination.
- Importance: Proper storage maintains the quality and reactivity of the active lime.
3. Packaging and Distribution
- Mesh Size: The processed quicklime is finely ground to a mesh size of 200-250, ensuring a fine and consistent product.
- Expert Packing: Highly skilled labor ensures precise packing of quicklime into bulk bags or smaller units, maintaining product quality.
- Transportation: The packaged quicklime is transported to industrial clients for applications in steel manufacturing, chemical processing, and environmental uses.
Hydrated Lime Processing
Hasan Abdal, Attock District, Punjab
1. Hydration
- Chemical Reaction: (CaO) reacts with water to form hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂). CaO+H2O
- Process: Quicklime is mixed with water in a lime slaker or hydration vessel, converting it into a fine, dry powder.
- Control: The hydration process is carefully controlled to ensure desired consistency and quality.
2. Milling and Screening
- Milling: Hydrated lime is milled using ball mills or roller mills to achieve a fine powder with a mesh size of 250-300.
- Screening: The milled lime is screened to separate fine particles from larger ones, ensuring a uniform product.
- Equipment: Milling and screening are crucial for achieving the desired particle size and distribution.
3. Storage, Packaging, and Distribution
- Storage: Hydrated lime is stored in controlled environments to keep it dry and prevent caking.
- Packaging: Expert labor ensures that hydrated lime is packaged into bulk bags or smaller units with precision, maintaining quality.
- Transportation: The packaged hydrated lime is transported to industrial clients for use in various applications, including agriculture, construction, and environmental control.
