Grade-dependent parameters

Purity, Ca(OH)₂ content, available lime, particle-size distribution, moisture, insolubles and reactivity vary by manufacturer and grade.

Share your target treatment process, specification, slurry preparation and dosing arrangement so the appropriate grade can be confirmed against the TDS and batch COA.

Water-treatment applications

pH, alkalinity and precipitation control.

pH adjustment

Raises pH in appropriately designed water and wastewater treatment systems.

Acid neutralisation

Neutralises acidic industrial effluent using controlled slurry preparation, mixing and dosing.

Water softening

Used in precipitative lime-softening processes to remove selected hardness constituents.

ETP

Controlled alkalinity addition and contaminant precipitation in suitable effluent-treatment plants.

Contaminant removal

Supports precipitation of selected dissolved metals and other contaminants under qualified conditions.

Sludge treatment

Selected sludge-conditioning and stabilization duties based on the process design and required outcome.

Other industrial applications

Broad industrial use.

Suitable grades are used in construction materials, chemical manufacture, acidic-gas treatment, selected steel and metallurgical operations, mining and mineral processing, sugar clarification, leather, textile and paper processing.

Hydrated Lime vs Quicklime

Hydrated Lime — Ca(OH)₂ is produced by controlled hydration of Quicklime — CaO. Hydrated Lime is supplied as a prepared fine powder, while Quicklime reacts strongly with water and releases substantial heat during hydration.

Material selection depends on the plant’s storage, feed, slurry, safety and process requirements.

Safety and handling

Prevent alkaline dust exposure.

Hydrated Lime can irritate or burn eyes and skin, and fine dust can irritate the upper respiratory system.

  • Use enclosed transfer or suitable local exhaust to prevent unnecessary dust generation and inhalation.
  • Use task-appropriate eye, skin and respiratory protection selected by competent safety professionals.
  • Provide accessible eyewash and quick-drench facilities where the product is handled.
  • Store sealed in a cool, dry area protected from moisture, carbon dioxide and contamination.
  • Consult the current manufacturer TDS, SDS and batch COA before storage, slurry preparation, transfer, use, spill response or disposal.
