Lime is traditionally used to reconstitute
caustic soda from the sodium carbonate left
over from the pulp-making process.
Shree Sai Group of Industries also supplies
high-purity lime for the fabrication of PCC
(Precipitated Calcium Carbonate) which is
manufactured via a series of controlled chemical
reactions. Quicklime is usually mixed with
water to form a slurry to which carbon dioxide
is added. The resulting reaction produces
a very fine precipitated calcium carbonate
(CaCO3). This filler is used in
paper production to enhance the paper's whiteness,
opacity and texture.
Lime is also used as a reagent to soften
process water in paper factories.
