Micronized lime
By pulverizing or pounding lime or limestone, micronized lime or pulverized lime is obtained, which is used for various purposes. Lime has a cross-sectional area and therefore you can combine it with any other material and use it in different industries. In general, micronized lime is used much more than limestone. Many people think that powdered lime is actually micronized lime; While this way of thinking is completely wrong and these two materials have many differences from each other.
When limestone is micronized into lime, it becomes very fine particles that can be micrometers in size. Micronized lime is also called micronized quicklime or raw limestone. The reason for this name is that when lime is hydrated, it becomes powdery or rounded. In order to sift this product, it is passed through a special device called a sieve, which is a mesh with fine pores. In order to make the lime particles in their smallest state, they are passed through sieves that have micrometer pores. The particle size of micronized lime is from 299 to 3500 mesh, which is for the needs of industries.
Production of micronized lime
In order to be able to produce micronized lime powder, special tools and devices are needed, such as sieves, nets, hammering jaws, types of mills, etc. At first, limestone is extracted from its source, and then it is pounded into small pieces. After that, these small stones are passed through a device called Serand, which makes all the dimensions of its particles the same.
To produce micronized quicklime, very standard conditions must be provided; Because this material reacts very quickly with water and may cause a fire when it comes into contact with water; Therefore, the humidity of the environment should be low and they should be processed in a completely dry environment.
Micronized limestone powder
Limestone is one of the most important and widely used minerals in the category of sedimentary carbonate rocks, and it is used in many industries. In fact, this material is a filling mortar that is combined with other materials for different purposes. This product is produced in different sizes and has different names based on these sizes. The sizes of these limes include lumpy lime, graded limestone, limestone powder and micronized lime powder.
Micronized quicklime
In raw limestone, there are impurities that cannot be used in some industries; For this reason, in most cases, micronized quicklime is used, which is also called calcium oxide or pure lime. In general, quicklime is made into a lump, which is very reactive. This material is used to produce heat or to produce hydrated lime. In many cases, micronized quicklime is crushed to produce its powder, which greatly increases its uses.
