Slaked lime
Slaked lime, calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), is formed through a reaction between quicklime and water.
How it’s produced:
Mixing quicklime and water releases energy in the form of heat and forms slaked lime. Depending on how much water is added during the process, slaked lime is either formed as a dry powder or a paste.
Application uses:
Uses of slaked lime include water treatment and flue gas scrubbing and in the construction materials industry.
