Ironmaking

Carmeuse lime and lime-based products play a pivotal role in ironmaking. They are used as fluxes and allow to adjust basicity enabling the generation of slag in the blast furnace or to adjust basicity of pellets used notably for DRI production. Their unique properties, including silica removal capabilities, temperature control, and fluxing abilities, make them indispensable in the ironmaking processes. With a focus on sustainable practices, the integration of lime-based products contributes to reducing environmental impact and promoting a circular economy within the ironmaking process. As the steel industry continues to evolve, lime remains a cornerstone of its sustainable future.
