Hydrated Lime - High Calcium Hydrated Lime, Dry Hydrate Form, Exothermic Slaking Process, Custom Moisture And Mesh Sizes

Our Calcium Hydrated Lime, also known as Calcium Hydroxide, is produced from slaking of Quicklime with water. Besides, our high grade Hydrated Lime is produced from treating the limestone, under controlled pressure and temperature. We serve finest quality High Calcium Hydrated Lime that is suitable for various industrial uses. With strong manufacturing capabilities, we are able to serve hydrated lime with highest CAO percentage. Our Hydrated Lime is available with several specifications in moisture, mesh size, acid insoluble, etc. Moreover, we offer Hydrated Lime at reasonable price.

Chemical Formula : Ca(OH)2

Process
High calcium quicklime readily reacts with water to form hydrated lime. The reaction is highly exothermic and the process is known as "slaking". The reaction is usually carried out in a "slaker" (a specially designed mixer) which, through a process of rigorous mixing, makes certain that all of the quicklime has come into intimate contact with water and no unreacted quicklime remains. From a general viewpoint the hydrated lime produced can be in the form of dry hydrate, putty slurry, or "milk of lime". (At Cheney Lime we produce the dry hydrated lime that is sold in bulk or bags.) The exothermic reactions are shown below: (There are various types of slakers available on the market.)
