Lime Applications in Iron & Steel Production
At RCI, we have built decades-long partnerships with our customers in the steel industry, providing lime solutions that align with the precise demands of steel production. Our quicklime, with its high calcium oxide (CaO) content and controlled purity, is integral to slag formation, impurity removal, and achieving the critical balance needed for refining processes. By maintaining low levels of magnesium oxide (MgO) and silica (SiO2), we ensure consistent performance that supports the production of high-grade steel.
Our products can be used for Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOF), Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), and secondary metallurgy. Additionally, our hydrated lime also plays a vital role in environmental compliance, enabling effective flue gas desulfurization. With a foundation of quality, reliability, and technical insight, RCI stands as a trusted partner to steelmakers worldwide, committed to advancing their operations and long- term success.
