Calcium Oxide
Superventilated hydrated lime
Fine grained hydrated lime
Fine grained hydrated lime is a hydrated lime with a high content of Ca(OH)2 (>91%) and a particle size ranging from 0 to 100 microns. It is used in the ecological sector for wastewater treatment, both directly and as lime milk, for chemical-physical treatments such as neutralization and conditioning. In the construction sector, it is used in the production of dry premixes.

Applications
Production of lime in Italy
Lime is a versatile material with various applications, serving as a raw material for the formulation of products such as mortars for construction and chemical compounds.
Building industry
Lime, employed since antiquity, continues to play a key role in modern construction. Products such as calcium hydroxide, lime putty, and wet mortars are essential for durable constructions, ensuring quality and strength.
Steel industry
Transport infrastructure
The construction of roads, railways, and other infrastructure requires huge quantities of aggregates. Lime offers the possibility of reclaiming soils considered unsuitable, transforming them into materials suitable for road subgrades and superstructures.
Agriculture
Lime is the ideal corrective for overly acidic soils. Through the practice of “liming”, it neutralizes acidity, creating optimal conditions for crop growth and nutrition.
