Plg Minerals

PLG Minerals offers high quality Manakpur limestone’s Calcium oxide Powder( Quick Lime Powder). Heat: Quicklime releases heat energy by the formation of the hydrate, calcium hydroxide, by the following equation:

CaO (s) + H₂O (l) Ca(OH)₂

As it hydrates, an exothermic reaction results and the solid puffs up. The hydrate can be reconverted to quicklime by removing the water by heating it to redness to reverse the hydration reaction. One litre of water combines with approximately 3.1 kilograms (6.8 lb) of quicklime to give calcium hydroxide plus 3.54 MJ of energy. This process can be used to provide a convenient portable source of heat, as for on-the-spot food warming in a self-heating can.

· Cement: Calcium oxide is a key ingredient for the process of making cement.

· As an alkali in biodiesel production

· Petroleum industry: Water detection pastes contain a mix of calcium oxide and phenolphthalein. Should this paste come into contact with water in a fuel storage tank, the CaO reacts with the water to form calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide has a high enough pH to turn the phenolphthalein a vivid purplish-pink color, thus indicating the presence of water.

· Paper: Calcium oxide is used to regenerate sodium hydroxide from sodium carbonate in the chemical recovery at Kraft pulp mills.

· Plaster: There is archeological evidence that Pre-Pottery Neolithic B humans used limestone-based plaster for flooring and other uses.Such Lime-ash floor remained in use until the late nineteenth century.

· Chemical or power production: Solid sprays or slurries of calcium oxide can be used to remove sulfur dioxide from exhaust streams in a process called flue-gas desulfurization.

· AAC block manufacturing

· Effluent treatment plant

· Road & building construction

· Paint & pigment as chemicals

· Lubricants & petroleum refinery & Many More.
