FAQs of Calcium Oxide:

Q: How is Calcium Oxide manufactured?

A: Calcium Oxide is produced through the thermal decomposition (calcination) of limestone (CaCO), yielding a high-purity, white to off-white solid. This process is carefully controlled to ensure consistency and superior quality for industrial applications.

Q: What are the main industrial uses of Calcium Oxide?

A: Calcium Oxide is used in cement and mortar formulation, steelmaking, chemical processes, water treatment, paper production, flue gas desulfurization, soil stabilization, and as a laboratory reagent due to its strong alkaline properties and high stability.

Q: Where should Calcium Oxide be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: To maintain its long shelf life and prevent moisture absorption, Calcium Oxide must be stored in dry, tightly closed containers, away from humidity and water sources. Proper storage guarantees its stability and efficacy.

Q: When should Calcium Oxide be handled with extra caution?

A: Always handle Calcium Oxide with personal protective equipment, as it is highly caustic and corrosive, causing severe skin burns and eye damage. It should never be inhaled or ingested, and must be handled in well-ventilated environments with appropriate safety measures.

Q: What packaging options are available for Calcium Oxide supply?

A: Calcium Oxide is available in 25 kg, 50 kg, and jumbo bags, with packaging tailored to each clients requirements. This ensures safe transit and easy handling for manufacturers, exporters, dealers, and retailers across India.

Q: How does Calcium Oxide benefit industrial processes?

A: Its high purity, strong alkalinity, efficient moisture control (less than 1%), and customizable particle size make Calcium Oxide indispensable for enhancing chemical reactions, increasing process yields, and maintaining product quality in numerous sectors.
