What is Quicklime? (Calcium Oxide)
Calcium oxide, also called quicklime or burnt lime, is a versatile chemical compound widely utilized in various industries. At room temperature, it appears as a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid.
The primary application of quicklime is in the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process, where it plays a crucial role. Typically, 30 to 50 kilograms (65–110 lb) of quicklime is used per ton of steel produced. In this process, quicklime effectively neutralizes acidic oxides, resulting in the formation of a basic molten slag, essential for removing impurities.
