Construction

Autoclaved aerated concrete is a versatile lightweight construction material and is usually used as blocks. Unslaked Lime is used in the manufacture of autoclaved aerated concrete which can be formed into blocks as well as large masonry units or insulation slabs.

Quick Lime along with other materials cement, sand, water, and aluminum powder is mixed together to make the blocks. Dolomite Lime and modified quick lime can be added to reduce excessive shrinkage or cracking in the blocks.

At Spectrum Industries, quick lime is tested, to make sure the calcium oxide (CAO) content in Lime is below 80%. & temperature lies between 55 – 60◦C.

Lime, is an essential and key component in the steel industry. Limestone and lime products are used as fluxing materials in the iron and steel industry. Quick Lime is used to remove impurities (silica, phosphorus, and sulfur) in both converters and electric arc furnaces.

Dolomite Lime provides MgO to regenerate the refractory materials in the furnaces. Slaked lime is also used as a lubricant for pelletization as lime ingots. Bentonite is also another cost-effective mineral used as a binder in iron ore pelletization and also contributes undesirable amounts of silica to the finished pellets.

Spectrum Industries manufactures and processes various calcium and magnesium-based minerals as cost-effective raw materials that enables you to comply with environmental regulations.
