WATER TREATMENT
Water treatments, water is a resource widely used in industrial processes, as well as being an indispensable element for humans. So, to allow industrial development and at the same time preserve water it is necessary to perform water decontamination treatments. The type of treatment applied to the water is different depending on its origin. Existing water […]
ENVIRONMENT
Quick-lime, hydrated lime or dolomites are the most effective alkaline products for environmental applications. Products supplied by Calcinor are used for environmental protection, and part of the gas, water and sludge treatment process. The objective of this treatment is to conserve natural resources and minimize the carbon footprint generated by industrial activities. The main functions […]
CIVIL WORKS
Present in practically all infrastructures carried out at a national level. Thanks to the range of products in this sector and the installed production capability, Calcinor participates in the majority of infrastructure projects that take place at a national level. In general for major civil works Calcinor supplies the necessary materials, high-speed railway lines, retaining dikes, waste water […]
CONSTRUCTION
At Calcinor we have specific products for the construction sector aiming to improve its manageability, performance, and effectiveness. The development of human activity usually takes place in enclosed spaces that are constructed for that purpose. Strategically situated concrete plants and the range of mortars available are a global response to the above-mentioned needs in the construction […]
SOIL STABILISATION
Calcinor incorporates the range of STABYCAL, products specific for this application. Stabilised soils with lime can be used to build embankments, bases and motorway sub-bases, shape layers on railways and surfaces in general. The geotechnical properties of soil immediately improves with the addition of lime (reduces plasticity rate and increases load capacity (CBR), improving soil compaction, due to […]
CONSTRUCTION
At Calcinor we produce products specific to the construction sector, aiming to improve its manageability, performance and effectiveness. Aggregates, concrete and mortars are indispensable in building projects. Calcium hydroxides and oxides are present in the stabilisation of clay soils, improving their geotechnical properties immediately. In asphalt mixtures and surface layers, the use of calcium hydroxide in formulations improves adhesion […]
INDUSTRY
Continuing the value chain that begins with calcium and magnesium carbonates taken from our mines, the products obtained after calcination, hydration, sintering and recarbonation are employed in several sectors. Calcium and magnesium carbonates: used in the glass and ceramics industry, as well as in the production of cast iron. Calcium and magnesium oxides and hydroxides: multitude of […]
PLASTICS
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is used as a mineral load to improve the rheology and mechanical resistance of the plastic. Micronised calcium oxide is used as a desiccant in the plastics industry. In the last two centuries, continuous R+D on new molecules and systems of polymerization has led to a growth in the number of […]
MINING INDUSTRY
For a correct concentration of desired metal, it is necessary to maintain an alkaline solution containing ore, with a correct acidic pH of the water derived from said mineralogical processes. For a correct concentration of the desired metal it is necessary to maintain an alkaline solution containing the ore, and correct the acidity of the […]
RUBBERS
Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) improves the dynamic properties of rubber. Natural rubber is an elastic polymeric secretion, appearing as a milky emulsion (known as latex) in the sap of several plants, but it can also be produced synthetically. CALPREC® PR-B is an ultrafine coated PCC used as load that is able to chemically bond with the […]
