HYDRATED LIME
Quicklime can also be further processed, through an exothermic reaction in a hydrator, into a chemical compound called calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2. This process adds approximately 25% water to the quicklime, however its final form as calcium hydroxide remains a dry powder. Calcium hydroxide is typically referred to as hydrated lime, and also referenced as slaked lime, but do not confuse this with the wet slurry derived from the slaking process. While powdered quicklime is dry, it can be processed in a different manner to produce a slurry product.
It finds its application in,
- Water desalination plant
- Glass Industries
- Petroleum Refining
- Construction Chemicals
- Paint Industries
- Paper Industries
