HYDRATED LIME
[CODE NO.3277]
Hydrated lime is a stable, dry, fine powder produced by the chemical combination of quicklime with water. This is the most concentrated form of lime.
Hydrated lime,apart from building industries, is also largely used in chemical industries as a cheapest alkali available. It is consumed in hundreds of solidliquid phase reactions. Hydrated lime requirements definitely exceed the vast tonnage of quick lime required in dry, thermal processes such as sintering, smelting, and fluxing etc. Hydrated lime is used for neutralization, coagulation, canticization, dehydration, hydrolyzation and absrption. It is also used as a flux in metallurgy, as a specified lubricant, as a bonding agent, as a filler, as a raw material and also in the manufacture of refrectories. The present existing manufacturing capacity in the country for the manufacture of hydrated lime is not sufficient to meet the growing demand of its dependent chemical and other industries as also in building industry. Raw materials, process equipments, and the necessary know-how involved in the manufacture of hydrated lime are available indigenously.
The term lime has broad connotation and frequently is used in refering to limestone. According to precise definition lime can only be a burned form:
Quick lime and hydrated lime.
These products are oxides or hydroxides of calcium and magnesium, expect hydraulic types in which the CaO & MgO are chemically combined with impurities. The oxide is converted to a hydroxide by slaking on exothermic reaction in which the water combines chemically with the lime.
