Lime is an important chemical with numerous chemical, industrial, and environmental uses in the United States. It was primarily a construction commodity until the rapid growth of the chemical process industries at the beginning of the 20th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, more than 80% of the lime consumed in the United States went for construction uses, but currently more than 90% is being consumed for chemical and industrial uses. |
