Slaked Lime
Slaked lime
, also known as
calcium hydroxide
, is a versatile
chemical compound
used in various industrial, environmental, and
construction applications
due to its ability to
neutralize acids
and
stabilize pH levels
. It is produced by adding water to quicklime (calcium oxide), resulting in an
exothermic reaction
that forms a fine, white powder or slurry.
Concept
Lime Production
Lime production
involves the
thermal decomposition
of limestone (calcium carbonate) in a
lime kiln
to produce quicklime (
calcium oxide
) and
carbon dioxide
. This process is crucial in industries such as construction, agriculture, and
environmental management
, where lime is used for
soil stabilization
,
pH regulation
, and
water treatment
.
