APAC countries such as India and China are thought to lead in the Lime Kiln Dust Market

APAC countries such as India and China are thought to lead in the production of lime kiln dust, followed by Europe and the United States. The production of lime kiln dust has continued as the firm has grown.

Lime kiln dust is a fine material with unique chemical properties of lime and limestone, as well as silicates and other latent minerals, which makes lime kiln dust particularly suitable for agricultural use. It might be used in the soil-liming process depending on the amount of immersion calcium carbonate it has obtained from the lime-material.Soil moulding, industrial waste modification, and agricultural employment are the most common applications. For the most part, soil stabilisation entails using slurry mixers or lime delivery tanks to disseminate the materials over the ground. The field is irrigated by the spreader at that point (this procedure could be done all the while with lime kiln dust dispersing).Because lime kiln dust contains essential elements such as magnesium oxide and calcium oxide, it raises the mineral value of soil, improving the quality of low-quality soil. Soil drying is another important application of lime kiln dust, in which lime kiln dust serves as a mechanism of releasing heat and absorbing water, allowing wet soil to dry. As a result, during the rainy season, this dust becomes extremely important on the construction site. Lime kiln dust also serves as a primary drying agent and is used in the treatment of heavy metal contamination, making it ideal for the stabilisation of industrial waste. In any case, this method necessitates the use of extraordinary industrial blenders, making it costly. Lime kiln dust is also utilised as a mineral filler in stone matrix asphalt, which is a high-end type of asphalt pavement. The rate material of calcium, on the other hand, has an impact on its application due to the features predicted at yield. If agricultural applications are required, lime kiln dust is mostly used to increase the calcium content of the soil.

Lime is used extensively in steel and iron industries, resulting in a large amount of lime kiln dust being produced as a byproduct. India and China are the leading countries in the lime kiln dust market, followed by Europe and the United States. Lime kiln dust is a key co-product of the expansion of facilities in India, Japan, and China. Indeed, even countries like Europe and the United States are big lime producers; nevertheless, rigorous rules throughout emerging economies influence these production facilities, resulting in the closure of offices that could not fulfil the regulations. As a result, the demand for and production of lime in a few industries has a significant impact on the Lime Kiln Dust Market. The increase of lime producing facilities in developing countries would assist in the production of lime kiln dust. Similarly, the requirement for lime kiln dust will be bolstered by its prospective usage in soil conditioning (building sector) and agriculture.

Maerz Ofenbau completed two projects in arid regions in December 2017, including the latest lime plant in Saudi Arabia for Astra Mining Company south of Riyadh and a new kiln for Baseline Chaux Berriane in central Algeria. In addition, the business has secured an order for the eastern end of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India. Maerz is also working on a project for Uni Lime in Giza, Egypt, in El Mohandessin, near Cairo.

Among the leading manufacturers of lime kiln dust are Greer Lime Company, Maerz Ofenbau AG (Switzerland), Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical, and Graymont (North America), to name a few.
