Markets & Applications
Flue Gas Treatment
Waste incineration and many other industrial processes generate flue gases. Lime, hydrated lime and limestone-based products are highly efficient reagents for capturing contaminants.
Water Treatment
Lime and dolomitic lime-based products are used in various stages of water, wastewater and sludge treatment.
Agriculture
Lhoist soil conditioners mitigate soil pH and improve cropland quality.
Steel
Our calcium- and magnesium-based products and minerals are used throughout the iron- and steel-making process as binders or flux agents to form slag.
Glass
Lhoist supplies the glass industry with pure dolomite and limestone products of consistent chemical composition and particle size.
Roads & Civil Engineering
Lime improves the workability and mechanical performance of soils for rail tracks, roads, highways, hydraulic works, airports, and industrial platforms. Hydrated lime contributes to the durability of all asphalt structures, such as roads, highways, walkways, and so on.
Construction
Limestone, limestone derivatives and clay are major components for building and construction products. Lhoist offers a wide range of aggregates, ground and milled minerals that have been specially developed to be used as binders, fillers and extenders.
Pulp & Paper
Lime is used in multiple applications in the pulp and paper manufacturing industry.
Non Ferrous Metallurgical Processing
Lime products play a key role in the extraction and recovery of non-ferrous commodities. Lhoist has a wide range of lime products of appropriate purity and reactivity for process optimization and metal recovery.
Chemicals
Our calcium and magnesium lime-based products and minerals are used as a filler component, a neutralizing agent, or a chemical reagent in the production of many organic and inorganic chemicals.
Refractories
Our dead-burnt dolomite products protect equipment during the thermal processes used in the iron and steel, glass, cement and ceramic industries.
