About Lime
Lime is derived from limestone in an industrial process. Lime has two product forms: hydrated lime and quicklime. Limestone is a naturally occurring and abundant sedimentary rock consisting of high levels of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, or dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate CaMgCO3) along with other minerals. After mining, limestone is initially crushed using a primary crusher and depending on the required size. It is further crushed using a secondary or tertiary crusher to reduce its size further. Then it is screened into various sizes for the commercial end-use applications.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global lime market to grow at a CAGR of 4.48% by volume during the period 2016-2020.
