Hydrated Lime
Hydrated lime is a dry, white powder that is produced by adding water to quicklime (calcium oxide). It is slightly soluble in water and forms a suspension called lime water.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Construction: Hydrated lime is widely used in construction as a binder for mortar and plaster, providing improved workability and durability to building materials.
- Water Treatment: It is used in water treatment processes to adjust pH levels and remove impurities and contaminants from drinking water and wastewater.
- Soil Stabilization: Hydrated lime is applied to soils to improve their properties, such as plasticity and stability, in construction and agricultural applications.
- Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD): In power plants and industrial processes, hydrated lime is used in FGD systems to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gases.
- Chemical Industry: It serves as a reactant or neutralizing agent in various chemical processes and applications.
- Sugar Refining: In the sugar industry, hydrated lime is used in the purification and clarification of sugarcane juice during the production of sugar.
- Environmental Applications: Hydrated lime is utilized for waste and sludge treatment, as well as in the remediation of contaminated sites.
