近江鉱業 List of Products and Services

"Miracle" is a high-performance product processed from the naturally occurring clay mineral "sepiolite." It is porous with a large specific surface area and excellent adsorption properties, used in fields that utilize its adsorption capabilities for deodorization, humidity control, and more. Additionally, it has plasticity as a clay and is used as an inorganic binder to improve moldability and preservation. Our company handles products from two countries: Turkey and the United States, each with different characteristics and suitable applications. Please contact us for more details. 【Three Major Characteristics】 ■ Adsorption ■ Variability ■ Variability *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Calfinder" is a concrete admixture that is effective when high fluidity is required in high-flow concrete and when a clean release surface is desired. While limestone micro-powder Tancal is used for various applications, Calfinder has specialized particle and powder characteristics tailored for high-flow concrete and other cement-based materials. It is an effective concrete admixture when high fluidity is desired while also wanting to suppress excessive viscosity. 【Features】 ■ It is an effective admixture when high filling ability is required. ■ It is an effective admixture when a clean release surface is desired. ■ It improves pump closure and delivery issues due to the ball bearing effect. ■ Increasing the dosage does not raise the heat of hydration. ■ It enhances strength due to the filler effect. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Ibuki Lime NEO-1" has a very large BET specific surface area, significantly improving the removal performance of HCl gas and SOx gas compared to JIS special grade quicklime. Moreover, the average particle size (D50) is equivalent to that of JIS special grade quicklime, ensuring good handling performance. By reducing environmental impact through exhaust gas treatment performance and the reduction of fly ash volume, we contribute to environmental issues. [Effects] ■ Reduction of "quicklime raw unit" due to high reactivity ■ Reduction of "fly ash volume" due to decreased quicklime usage ■ Reduction of "heavy metal fixative usage" due to decreased fly ash volume, as well as "reduction of final disposal volume" ■ Good handling performance ■ Reduction of "catalyst poisoning in the denitration process" due to improved SOx gas removal performance *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company offers a lineup of products suitable for general industrial use, water supply, food additives, and soil improvement/fertilizers. "Ibuki Lime NEO-1" is a highly reactive quicklime for flue gas treatment in waste incineration facilities, significantly enhancing the reaction rate compared to JIS quicklime specifications. By reducing the unit consumption of quicklime used for waste treatment, we suppress the generation of fly ash. Additionally, by specially processing the quicklime particles, we reduce the load on pneumatic conveying systems and bag filters. **Effects of Ibuki Lime NEO-1** - Reduction in neutralizing agent costs due to lower unit price of quicklime - Expected benefits from reduced fly ash generation (lower unit consumption of quicklime) - Improved handling characteristics - Reduced catalyst poisoning in the denitrification process due to enhanced SOx removal performance - Social significance of effectively utilizing limited resources through improved reaction rates *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

"Tancal" responds to a wide range of applications and needs through its product lineup of the LP series and LG series, which are primarily differentiated by particle size characteristics. The LP series (powdered Tancal) has different testing methods for required quality based on particle size evaluation such as "specific surface area," "sieve passing rate," and "particle size distribution by laser diffraction," as well as other application characteristics. The LG series (granular Tancal) offers a rich variety of particle sizes by subdividing particles under 4 mm. With advanced crushing and classification technology, we will continue to meet new needs in the future. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Omi Mining Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive lime manufacturer that handles quicklime, hydrated lime, and talc, among other products. Our company has opened the Yataka mining site on Mount Ibuki, where we extract limestone. The limestone from Mount Ibuki mainly consists of amorphous calcite (with a crystal grain size of less than 100μm), and depending on the mining location, the purity of CaCO₃ is over 95%. In addition to being used as civil engineering and construction materials, it can also be utilized in the iron and steel manufacturing process for pig iron production and in the neutralization treatment of factory wastewater. 【Features】 ■ CaCO₃ purity of over 95% ■ Excellent water absorption rate and stability ■ Suppresses drying shrinkage of concrete *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Subsidiary materials

"Miracle" is a high-performance material processed from the naturally occurring clay mineral "sepiolite." It possesses three main characteristics: adsorption, thixotropy, and plasticity, and is used in applications such as adsorption in powder form, as a molding aid utilizing viscosity, and for deodorization, dehumidification, and filtration when molded. Our company handles products from two countries, Turkey and the United States, each with different characteristics and suitable for different applications, so please choose according to your usage conditions. [Features] ■ Excellent adsorption properties ■ Thixotropy ■ Plasticity as clay *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
