Mining
Lime products play an important role in the full lifecycle of a mine, from the initial construction of a mine right through to remediation.
Our Calbux quicklime (calcium oxide) and Limbux hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) products are used throughout mining operations for the refining and conditioning of metal ores and non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, zinc and aluminium.
Buxton Lime’s high purity lime products keep pH values at the required levels throughout the entire mine/mining operations, ensuring a high value yield from metal and mineral processing. Calbux and Limbux are mainly used for:
- Cyanide leaching during gold and silver extraction
- Regulating pH values to ensure process safety
- Flotation of liquids
- Neutralising tailings from mine operations
- Scrubbing acid gases from smelting operations
- Drying and stabilising waste sludge
- Treating mining waste water
