Hydrated Lime (Ca(OH)₂)

Compare

The chemical name of hydrated Lime lime is calcium hydroxide, with the chemical formula Ca (OH) ₂, and it is a common inorganic compound.Production method of calcium hydroxide: The finished product is obtained by digesting calcium oxide with water and drying, sifting and windpicking.Physical and chemical properties of calcium hydroxide: strongly alkaline. Placed in the air, it gradually absorbs carbon dioxide and becomes calcium carbonate. Slightly soluble in water, soluble in acid. With a density of 22.4g/cm3, its clarified aqueous solution is a colorless odorless alkaline transparent liquid with a PH value of 12.4.

Hydrated lime, chemically known as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), or slaked lime, is a dry white powder derived from quicklime. Hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) is produced when quicklime (CaO) is mixed with a carefully controlled amount of water. This process produces a dry calcium hydroxide product that is nearly free of moisture and, as a result, is easy to handle and store.
