About Quicklime
Quicklime (calcium oxide) is a caustic alkaline substance produced by heating limestone above 900°C, essential in construction, water treatment, steel production, and chemical manufacturing. International trade primarily involves lump quicklime (5-50mm) and fine quicklime powders, graded by calcium oxide content (80-95% CaO) and reactivity ratings. China, India, and Vietnam dominate global production and exports, followed by suppliers in North America and Europe. Buyers should verify moisture content and available lime percentage, as quicklime's hygroscopic nature causes rapid degradation when exposed to atmospheric moisture, directly impacting product efficacy and storage requirements.
