Introduction to Limestone-Amanda International Private Limited

Limestone: a Key Building Block for Industrial Production and Green Development

Limestone is a kind of carbonate rock with calcite as the main component, belonging to the sedimentary rock category. Its various colors, low hardness, and dilute hydrochloric acid reaction violent bubble, these characteristics make it has irreplaceable application value in many fields.

1. Mainstay of the construction and building materials industry

In the field of construction and building materials, limestone plays a pivotal role. In cement production, limestone is the core raw material, each production of 1 ton of cement clinker consumes about 1.4-1.5 tons of limestone, behind the huge annual output of cement in China, is the huge support of limestone. After calcination, limestone can be made into quicklime and hydrated lime, which is widely used in lime slurry, lime paste and other coating materials as well as brick and tile adhesives, providing a strong "bonding bond" for buildings. In addition, in the process of glass manufacturing, limestone, quartz sand and soda mix and melt at high temperature, becoming the key raw material to create transparent and strong glass.

2. Right-hand man of the metallurgical industry

Limestone is also indispensable in the metallurgical industry. When making steel and iron, as a flux, it can effectively remove harmful impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus, and can also separate gangue in the process of iron making to ensure the quality of metal. In calcium carbide production, limestone reacts with coke in electric furnace to produce calcium carbide, which provides basic raw materials for acetylene chemical industry and promotes the extension of chemical industry chain.

3.  Generalist in chemical and environmental protection applications

Limestone is widely used in chemical industry and environmental protection. Can be processed into calcium chloride, calcium nitrate and other calcium salts, used in water treatment, food additives, etc. In terms of environmental protection, calcium oxide is used in industrial wastewater treatment, waste incineration and flue gas desulfurization. Calcium hydroxide can soften hard water and neutralize acidic wastewater, contributing to the protection of environmental quality. Ultra-fine ground limestone is made into nano-calcium carbonate, which becomes an important raw material for high value-added products such as rubber, plastic and coating, helping to improve product performance.

4. Close partner of agriculture and daily life

In agriculture, hydrated lime can neutralize acidic soil, improve soil structure and provide calcin to promote crop growth. In pesticide preparation, lime sulfur mixture, Bordeaux liquid and other pesticides containing limestone components provide guarantee for crop disease and insect pest control. In daily life, food-grade calcium hydroxide is used to adjust the acidity of dairy products, beer and other products, and powdered calcium carbonate is added to toothpaste, cosmetics and drugs to silently protect people's health and quality of life.

5. Green pioneer of emerging environmental protection materials

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, limestone is emerging in the field of environmentally friendly materials. It can replace plastic to make pipes and packaging materials, reduce plastic pollution, become a new representative of green mineral resources, and provide innovative solutions for sustainable development.

China is rich in limestone reserves, accounting for more than 64% of the world, with proven reserves exceeding 50 billion tons, providing a solid foundation for the development of various industries. However, to fully exploit the value of limestone, it is necessary to enhance the development of high value-added products, such as food-grade calcium hydroxide and nano-calcium carbonate. Our company focuses on the development and application of limestone products. With professional technical team, advanced production equipment and strict quality control system, we are committed to providing customers with high-quality limestone products and customized solutions, helping various industries to flourish, and promoting green and low-carbon transformation, so that limestone can shine more brightly in the new era.
