What is Calcium Oxide? Calcium Oxide (chemical formula CaO) is an inorganic compound widely used in various industrial processes. It is a white, caustic, alkaline substance that is produced by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) in a kiln. Calcium Oxide is used in steel manufacturing, water treatment, and chemical synthesis. It is also employed in the production of other chemicals, as well as in construction and environmental processes. Alternate names for Calcium Oxide include Quicklime, Burnt Lime, and Lime.

Frequent Uses

Steel Manufacturing
As a flux in steel manufacturing to remove impurities from the molten metal, helping to produce high-quality steel and other alloys.

Water Treatment
Employed in water treatment to neutralise acidic water, adjust pH levels, and aid in the precipitation of impurities such as heavy metals.

Chemical Synthesis
In the production of a variety of chemicals, including calcium hydroxide, calcium carbide, and other industrial chemicals.

Construction
Utilised in the construction industry as a key ingredient in the production of cement and concrete, where it contributes to the material's strength and durability.

Environmental Applications
Employed in environmental processes, such as flue gas desulphurisation, where it helps to reduce sulphur emissions from power plants and other industrial sources
