Hydrated Lime is a dry powder mainly composed of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2. It is a colorless or white powder, which is obtained by hydrating Quicklime (Calcium Oxide) using specific equipment called hydrator in a process called hydration. The process converts CaO to Ca(OH)2.
Actually, hydration is a chemical process in which water molecules combine with Quicklime.
CaO + H2O â?? Ca(OH)2 + Heat
Hydrated Lime has other common names like Slaked Lime, Caustic Lime, Builderâ??s Lime, and Slack Lime.
Applications for Hydrated Lime:
Water treatment
Waste treatment
Acid neutralization
Building
Fertilizer
Soil stabilization
Asphalt filler
Food additive
