Market Needs
In nickel mining, lime is essential for pH control, impurity precipitation, neutralization of acidic waste, sulfur control, flotation, smelting, and environmental management. It enhances the efficiency of nickel extraction processes and helps mitigate environmental impacts.
Solution
In nickel mining, lime is essential for various processes, with different types used for specific purposes. Quicklime (CaO) is used for pH control, impurity precipitation, neutralization of acidic waste, and as a flux in smelting. Hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂) is utilized for pH control and water treatment. Limestone (CaCO₃) aids in neutralization and sulfur control. Each type of lime enhances extraction efficiency and helps manage environmental impacts.
