Product Description

Calcium hydroxide USP often referred to as slaked lime is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaOH2 It is a white crystalline solid that is produced by mixing calcium oxide lime with water

Calcium Hydroxide Properties:

  • Chemical Formula: CaOH2
  • Physical State: It is commonly found in the form of a white odorless powder or colorless crystals
  • Solubility: Calcium hydroxide is sparingly soluble in water The solubility increases with temperature The resulting solution is known as lime water
  • Alkalinity: Calcium hydroxide is a strong base and when dissolved in water it produces hydroxide ions OH  This property makes it useful in applications where alkalinity is required such as in water treatment processes
  • pH: Regulation Calcium hydroxide is commonly used to regulate the pH of acidic solutions or soils It reacts with acidic substances neutralizing them and raising the pH
  • Reactivity with Carbon Dioxide: Calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form calcium carbonate 3CaCO3 a process known as carbonation This property is utilized in carbon capture technologies and is the reason why lime water turns cloudy when exposed to air
  • Health and Safety: While generally considered safe for many applications calcium hydroxide can cause irritation to the skin and eyes Dust inhalation should be avoided
  • Chemical Reactivity: Besides reacting with acids and carbon dioxide calcium hydroxide can also participate in various chemical reactions and its reactivity is exploited in different industrial processes

Applications of Calcium Hydroxide:

  • Agriculture: Soil Amendment Calcium hydroxide is used to raise the pH of acidic soils thereby improving soil structure and enhancing the availability of nutrients to plants
  • Liming It is employed as a liming agent to neutralize soil acidity and prevent aluminum toxicity in acidic soils
  • Construction: Mor tar and Plaster Calcium hydroxide is a key component in the preparation of lime mor tar and plaster It reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form calcium carbonate contributing to the hardening of the material
  • Water Treatment: Softening Water Calcium hydroxide is used to soften water by precipitating calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide which can be removed as solid particles
  • pH Adjustment It is utilized in water treatment processes to raise the pH of acidic water and neutralize acidity
  •  
  • Food Industry: Pickling Calcium hydroxide is used in the pickling process to maintain the crispness of fruits and vegetables Fortification It is used to fortify certain food products with calcium
  • Chemical Manufacturing: Chemical Reactions Calcium hydroxide participates in various chemical reactions and is used as a reactant in the synthesis of other chemicals
  • Environmental Applications: Carbon Capture Its reactivity with carbon dioxide makes calcium hydroxide useful in carbon capture technologies where it can capture and sequester CO2
  • Medical and Dental Applications: Dentistry In dental applications calcium hydroxide is used in materials for root canal treatment Antacid It has been used as an antacid to treat digestive issues
  • Wastewater Treatment: Neutralization In wastewater treatment calcium hydroxide is used to neutralize acidic wastewater before discharge
  • Leather Industry: Liming Hides Calcium hydroxide is used in the leather industry during the liming process to remove hair and proteins from hides
  • Paints and Coatings: Hydrated Lime It is used as a filler and extender in the production of paints and coatings
