Iron Ore Agglomeration

Lime acts as a binder, helping to hold iron ore particles together during the agglomeration process, creating strong and uniform pellets for efficient use in blast furnaces.

Steel

Hot Metal Desulfurisation

Lime is injected into molten iron to remove sulfur, a harmful impurity that reduces steel quality. The sulfur reacts with the lime, forming calcium sulfide which is removed as slag.

Steel

Crude Steelmaking

Lime is a crucial fluxing agent in steelmaking, reacting with impurities (silica, alumina) in the iron to form slag which floats on top of the molten steel, enabling its removal.

Steel

Secondary Metallurgy

Lime is used to control inclusions (non-metallic impurities) in the molten steel, enhancing the quality and properties of the final product.
