MILLED LIMESTONE | Iron & Steel

Our milled limestone is used in the ironmaking process to produce the slag, which removes impurities from the iron ore while making liquid pig iron. Our milled limestone is added to iron sinter and pellets to add flux and promote agglomeration in your products. Blast furnaces can add limestone directly to the burden to promote slag formation and protect the refractory.

Introduction

Key Considerations

Several needs should be taken into consideration when selecting the right product for your ironmaking process:

Chemistry of the iron ore
Milled limestone sizing

Your Benefits

Why Chemical Grade Limestone from Carmeuse for Your Sinter Plant (Blast Furnace and Iron Pellets) Needs?

Optimum chemistry and purity
Proper sizing
High, specific levels of Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate, or both.
Low levels of residuals including silica, clay and organic matter
