High Calcium Hydrated Lime
What is high calcium hydrated lime? High calcium hydrated lime, also known as calcium hydroxide, is a white, odorless solid. It forms when quicklime reacts with water. With a high pH of around 12.5 in solution at 25°C, its alkaline nature makes it a key compound in various industries. Specifications high calcium hydrated lime typical ranges are below: Benefits of Our High Calcium Hydrated Lime High Calcium Hydrated Lime Production The production begins with high – quality limestone. After mining, the limestone is crushed and calcined in a kiln. This transforms calcium carbonate into calcium oxide (quicklime). Then, quicklime reacts with a precisely controlled amount of water in a hydrator. The exothermic reaction (CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + heat) produces high calcium hydrated lime, which remains a dry powder. What is hydrated lime used for? Is hydrated lime dangerous? High calcium hydrated lime can be hazardous. It’s a skin irritant (Skin Irrit. 2), causing redness and itching. It can severely damage eyes (Eye Dam. 1). Inhaling its dust may irritate the respiratory system (STOT SE 3), and long – term inhalation may cause cancer (Carc. 1A). Repeated exposure can damage organs (STOT RE 1). Thus, it’s only for professional use, and certain groups should avoid it.
