Normal Lump Lime
The robust, bulk-grade standard for foundational metallurgical and industrial processing. Delivered in its traditional, uncrushed form directly from the calcination kiln, Normal Lump Lime provides a steady and dependable source of basicity, with a balanced dissolution rate that ensures sustained neutralisation. In ferrochrome smelting, its lump size penetrates the slag layer without loss to furnace draft, controlling basicity, aiding desulphurisation and maximising chromium alloy recovery.
Industries & applications
Where it's used
Ferrochrome
Our specialised lime products are utilised to optimise the intensive smelting of ferrochrome. They help control slag basicity, facilitate desulphurisation, and ensure the maximum recovery of the valuable chromium alloy used in stainless steel production.

In the processing of manganese ores, lime acts as a vital flux and pH modifier. Whether used in high-temperature pyrometallurgical smelting or complex hydrometallurgical refining circuits, it ensures efficient impurity removal and optimal recovery.
Learn more →Nickel
Lime is extensively used throughout the nickel extraction process. From adjusting pH levels in advanced hydrometallurgical leaching to precipitating harmful impurities from solution, our products ensure the efficient and environmentally sound production of high-purity nickel.
