Introduction
Hydrated Lime is obtained by the action of water on quicklime (calcium oxide). Its other names are calcium-hydroxide and Slaked lime. Its chemical name is calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3, which chemically contains calcium hydroxide, which is rarely found in nature in the form of pure lime. hydrated lime is a white and homogeneous powder.
Quicklime is unstable to air and moisture and has a strong tendency to react with metals, so it reacts with metals used in buildings such as water pipes and boiler pipes, causing to corrosion and decay them.
Uses
Unlike quicklime, which is commonly used for cement production and as a catalyst in the steel industry as well as for disinfection, hydrated lime is used in completely different cases such as drinking water treatment, agriculture to correct the acidity of acidic soils, landfill of infectious waste and also the production of chemicals.
Some of the most important uses of hydrated lime are:
- Water Treatment Plant
- Effluent Treatment Plant
- PH Control
- Paint Industries
- Food Industries
- Leather Industry
- Paper Industry
- Pesticides
- Fertilizers
- Metallurgical
- Industries

- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Cement paints
- Bleaching Powder
- Di Calcium Phosphate manufacturing
- Petroleum refining Industries
- Rubber Industry
- Road making and construction
- Sugar Industries
