A productive agricultural sector depends on healthy soils to ensure strong crop yields and food security. Issues such as soil compaction and acidity can restrict root growth, limit nutrient uptake, and reduce the availability of essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, leading to poorer crop performance. Soil amendments help address these problems by improving soil structure and balancing soil chemistry, restoring nutrient availability and creating better conditions for healthy plant growth and higher yields.

Sugar Production

Sugar Production

3 products

Lime is vital in the refining of sugar cane. Through the carbonatation process, milk of lime acts to precipitate impurities from the raw juice, ensuring the final granulated sugar product is clear, pure and ready for consumption.

Hydrated Lime

High-purity alkalinity in a safe, ready-to-use dry powder. Chemically known as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), hydrated lime is a dry, easy-to-handle white powder that has already completed the exothermic slaking process at the manufacturing facility, making it significantly safer to handle on-site than quicklime. In sugar production, this ready-to-use hydrated form eliminates on-site slaking, delivering consistent alkalinity for carbonatation and juice purification in refining operations.

In calcium carbide manufacturing, its bulk lump form is charged with metallurgical coke or anthracite into a submerged-arc electric furnace, where temperatures of approximately 2000 °C drive the endothermic reaction CaO + 3C → CaC₂ + CO. The uncrushed lump geometry is critical to the process: it withstands the mechanical burden loads and thermal shock of the furnace, maintains an open, permeable charge that allows carbon monoxide off-gas to percolate freely to the top, and provides a steady, controlled feed rate of CaO into the reaction zone — minimising fines carryover, electrode fouling and thermal instability.
