Flue gas treatment
Every day, industrial processes release flue gases that threaten the quality of the air we share. Lime, hydrated lime and limestone-based products play a vital role, acting as powerful, reliable allies that capture harmful contaminants and help protect both people and the environment.
Water treatment
Clean water is essential to every life. That’s why lime and dolomitic lime-based products are used throughout water, wastewater and sludge treatment, helping remove impurities and restore the purity of one of our most precious resources.
Agriculture
In agriculture, balance is everything, from the soils that sustain growth to the environments where animals thrive. Our solutions help restore this balance, supporting healthier soils, cleaner spaces and improved nutrition for diverse agricultural needs.
Steel
From the first spark of the furnace to the final shape of the steel, our calcium‑ and magnesium‑based products support the journey. As binders and flux agents, they help create the slag that protects, purifies, and drives quality.
Glass
Glassmaking demands unwavering consistency. We support this craft with pure dolomite and limestone, carefully produced to ensure uniform chemical composition and particle size, helping customers create glass that performs and endures
Roads and civil engineering
Every reliable infrastructure project begins with strong, stable ground. Lime helps achieve that strength by improving the workability and performance of soils used for railways, roads, highways, airports, hydraulic works and industrial areas. Hydrated lime further reinforces this reliability by improving the long‑term durability of asphalt surfaces, from busy highways to everyday walkways.
Building materials
From the foundations beneath our feet to the structures that shape our cities, building materials must deliver strength, consistency and reliability. Lhoist contributes to this performance with limestone, limestone derivatives and clay, along with tailored aggregates and milled minerals developed to optimize binder, filler and extender functions.
Pulp and paper
Behind every sheet of paper lies a complex process where lime makes a real difference. Its presence across numerous applications helps mills refine fibers, recover chemicals and maintain the quality that the industry depends on.
Non-ferrous metallurgical processing
Non‑ferrous metals shape the world around us: electric vehicles, medical equipment, household electronics and countless everyday tools. Lime plays a vital role in extracting and recovering these resources. Our high‑quality lime products help optimize processes, turning raw ores into the metals that keep modern life moving.
Chemicals
Many of the chemicals that make modern life possible begin with precise reactions and careful balancing. Our calcium and magnesium minerals play an important part in this journey, serving as fillers, neutralizing agents or chemical reagents in the production of a wide range of organic and inorganic chemicals.
