Ceramic – Glass
Raw materials for Glass Manufacturing:
Limestone crushing is the most important step in processing the mined limestone. Generally limestone is crushed by dry grinding method and wet grinding method is not preferred for limestone crushing. There are special mills available in market for crushing limestone. Earlier traditional mills like Ball mills were used for crushing limestone. But today with the advancement of technology more improved mills are available. These special mills are very efficient in producing ultra micron particle size output.
Limestone is used in glass manufacturing and another major application of limestone is in cement and mortar manufacturing. The cement is manufactured by heating limestone and clay together. Limestone is heated to form quick and slaked lime. Limestone is also used as a reagent in desulfurization process. It is also used as an additive to soil for neutralizing acidic conditions.
