Start with your plant process and the tests your technical team uses for approval. Then define the product, shipment and purchasing schedule.
Build the brief around the furnace.
Quicklime or burnt dolomite may be considered as steelmaking fluxes. Your receiving process determines the required chemistry and physical form.
Product starting point: Quicklime · Burnt dolomite
Discuss steel supplyInclude in your enquiry
- Furnace or refining stage: EAF, BOF, ladle or another process.
- Total / available CaO, separate MgO target and limits for silica, sulfur and other impurities.
- Size range, maximum fines, reactivity method and acceptance sampling.
Application background: industry reference. Product suitability is assessed against your specification.
Distinguish make-up lime from PCC requirements.
Pulp recovery and precipitated calcium carbonate production place different demands on lime. Describe the process before requesting a common “paper grade”.
Product starting point: Quicklime
Discuss mill requirementsInclude in your enquiry
- Kraft make-up lime, PCC production or another identified use.
- Available lime, reactivity, insolubles and impurity or brightness criteria relevant to your process.
- Routine demand, planned shutdown support or a trial; receiving equipment and approval tests.
Application background: industry reference. Product suitability is assessed against your specification.
Specify the treatment and feed system.
Quicklime and hydrated lime are used in industrial treatment. Selection depends on material properties, equipment and the approvals required for the actual end use.
Product starting point: Hydrated lime
Discuss treatment requirementsInclude in your enquiry
- Industrial wastewater, acid neutralisation, flue gas or another treatment objective.
- Material form, fineness, reactivity and impurity limits required by the system.
- Applicable approval evidence, SDS and site evaluation criteria. Potable-water suitability requires specific confirmation.
Application background: industry reference. Product suitability is assessed against your specification.
Describe the circuit and receiving conditions.
Identify the process stage where lime is considered. The RFQ should connect required chemistry and physical form with your plant’s evaluation procedure.
Product starting point: Quicklime
Discuss mineral processingInclude in your enquiry
- Circuit or process stage and preferred quicklime or hydrated form.
- Available lime, size / fineness, reactivity and impurity criteria.
- Trial quantity, repeat demand, destination and unloading or storage constraints.
Application background: industry reference. Product suitability is assessed against your specification.
Construction, chemicals and specialist uses.
Provide the process or project standard, required grade, test methods and destination. Agricultural limestone, calcined dolomite and hydrated lime are different materials; selection should follow the appropriate technical advice.
