HYDRATED LIME = Calcium hydroxide, traditionally called slaked lime, hydrated lime, slack lime or pickling lime, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2. It is a colourless crystal or white powder, and is obtained when calcium oxide (called lime or quicklime) is mixed, or "slaked" with water.
High Calcium Hydrated Lime Ca(OH)2 is a dry powder produced by reacting quicklime with a sufficient amount of water to satisfy the quicklime's natural affinity for moisture. The process converts CaO to Ca(OH)2. The amount of water required depends on both the subtle characteristics of the quicklime and the type of hydrating equipment available. Hydrated lime easily forms as a suspension or slurry and is often pumped to various process locations within industrial plants. The resulting solution is strongly alkaline, having a pH of 12.4. Most Hydrated Limes contain approximately 75 percent CaO and 25 percent H2O.
Hydrated Lime is used in a variety of industrial applications including water treatment, as an anti-stripping agent in asphalt, and in soil stabilization. Some hydrated limes are sold into the food grade market as well. The product is commonly sold in 25 kilogram bag or 500 kilogram bag.
QUICKLIME = Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as burnt lime, lime or quicklime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic and alkaline crystalline solid at room temperature. As a commercial product, lime often also contains magnesium oxide, silicon oxide and smaller amounts of aluminium oxide and iron oxide. The name lime (native lime) refers to a very rare mineral of the CaO composition.
High calcium quicklime is lime made from excellent deposits of high calcium limestone containing less than 5% magnesium carbonate. Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as lime or quicklime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, alkaline, and crystalline solid. Quicklime is created by heating limestone as shown in the following equation:
CaCO3 + HEAT = CaO + CO2
High calcium quicklime provides superior chemical base performance. It will provide exceptional performance for your acid neutralization, SO2 absorption, sludge stabilization or other industrial alkali applications.
AGRICULTURAL LIME = Agricultural lime, also called garden lime or liming (soil), is a soil additive made from pulverized limestone or chalk. The primary active component is calcium carbonate. Additional chemicals vary depending on the mineral source and may include calcium oxide, magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate.
