A type of water-base mud that is saturated with lime, Ca(OH) 2, and has excess, undissolved lime solids maintained in reserve. Lime muds are classified according to excess lime content: low-lime, 0.5 to 2 lbm/bbl; medium-lime, 2 to 4 lbm/bbl; high-lime, over 4 lbm/bbl. All lime muds have pH in the range of 12, and the filtrate is

Jul 24, 2020 · There was wide use of lime mud for many years as inhibited fluids. The hydrated lime, calcium hydroxide, reduces the water attached to the clay structure. High lime-content water-based drilling mud should contain a Pf of 5-9 and a Pm of 2~O to maintain excess lime.

Jun 15, 2024 · Lime mud (LM), a by-product of the pulp and paper industry, shows significant promise for use in construction materials, potentially replacing cementitious binders in concrete and mortar. The successful substitution of OPC with LM in various percentages shows promising results, with some instances demonstrating improved compressive strength.

Jan 7, 2024 · Chemical, physical, mineralogical, beneficiation, and agglomeration studies found the offshore limemud as a potential replacement for limestone in the cement, filler, blast furnace, steel...

Lime muds are produced by several mecha-nisms: mechanical disintegration of biogenic skele-tal components, disaggregation of calcareous green algae, inorganic precipitation, bioerosion, erosion of tidal-flat deposits and bio-geochemical pro-cesses (Bathurst 1971). The modern settings for lime mud formation are largely confined to car-

LIME, hydrated Lime is the common name for calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2]. It is used as a source of calcium and alkalinity in both water and oil-base drilling fluids. Drilling fluid applications for LIME include: increasing pH; providing excess LIME as an alkalinity buffer; flocculating bentonite muds; removing soluble carbonate (CO3-2) ions ...

Jul 4, 2012 · Two sediment types were found in five gravity cores collected from water depths between 56 m and 121 m along the northwestern continental margin of India: lime muds were abundant in the lower section while siliciclastic sediments dominated the upper section.

The essence of the scheme is the fluid bed calciner where the lime mud can be regenerated to lime and carbon dioxide gas. The calciner is a two-compartment vessel as shown in Figure 1. The upper compartment contains a fluidized bed of lime pellets. The dry lime mud is blown into this fluidized bed where the mud with auxiliary fuel is calcined ...
