Calcium hydroxid e Hydrated lime, scientifically referred to as calcium hydroxide with the chemical formula Ca(OH)₂ and commonly known by its alternative name "slaked lime", is a versatile dry white powder that originates from quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO)—a product of high-temperature calcination of limestone. Unlike quicklime, which is highly reactive and prone to violent exothermic reactions when in contact with water, hydrated lime undergoes a controlled transformation process that results in a stable, free-flowing powder.
The production of hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂) is a precision-driven process centered on the hydration of quicklime. It begins with selecting high-purity quicklime to ensure the final product meets industrial quality standards; this quicklime is then mixed with a carefully calibrated volume of water. The water-to-quicklime ratio is critical here: too little water would leave unreacted quicklime residues, compromising product purity, while excessive water would result in a wet, clumpy mixture that is difficult to dry and process. During this hydration reaction, quicklime (CaO) reacts with water (H₂O) to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and releases a moderate amount of heat—far less intense than the uncontrolled reaction of quicklime with excess water. This controlled heat release allows for efficient processing without the risk of overheating or product degradation.
Core characteristics different from ordinary hydrated lime
·More Precise and Controllable Reaction
Due to its extremely low impurity content, high-purity hydrated lime undergoes "uninterrupted" reactions with target substances such as acidic materials and heavy metal ions. In contrast, impurities like iron and heavy metals in ordinary hydrated lime may react with reactants to form by-products (e.g., iron ions reacting with sulfides to generate iron sulfide precipitates, which affects the clarity of water after wastewater treatment). High-purity products, however, ensure that reactions only focus on core objectives such as "neutralization and precipitation." The reaction efficiency remains stable at over 95%, and the resulting products have high purity, making subsequent separation processes (e.g., precipitation filtration) more convenient and reducing the interference of by-products on the overall process.
·Stronger Stability and Compatibility
The advantages of high-purity hydrated lime are particularly prominent during long-term storage or when mixed with other high-purity raw materials: impurities such as calcium carbonate and calcium oxide in ordinary hydrated lime may undergo slow reactions with changes in environmental temperature and humidity (e.g., calcium oxide absorbing moisture and releasing heat, leading to local caking of the material). In contrast, high-purity products have minimal impurities, so their performance barely degrades during storage, with a shelf life extended to 18 months (compared to 12 months for ordinary industrial-grade hydrated lime). Meanwhile, when mixed with high-purity acids (e.g., electronic-grade hydrochloric acid) or high-purity solvents (e.g., pharmaceutical-grade ethanol), they do not introduce additional impurities, meeting the strict "raw material compatibility" requirements of precision manufacturing. For instance, in the pharmaceutical industry, when used to adjust the pH value of liquid medicines, high-purity hydrated lime must be free of toxic impurities such as heavy metals and arsenic to avoid compromising the safety of pharmaceutical products.
·Better Environmental Friendliness
In high-end environmental applications (e.g., advanced purification of drinking water, wastewater treatment in the electronics industry), high-purity hydrated lime can prevent "secondary pollution": ordinary hydrated lime may leave trace amounts of heavy metals and iron ions in treated water, requiring additional adsorption and filtration processes for removal. In contrast, water treated with high-purity hydrated lime requires no subsequent advanced treatment. This not only simplifies the process but also reduces environmental protection costs.

Calcium hydroxide has a wide range of uses, mainly focusing on industries such as industry, construction, environmental protection, and agriculture. Industrially, it is a key raw material for producing calcium hypochlorite (a raw material for bleaching powder), and is also used in papermaking bleaching and neutralizing acidic substances in wastewater treatment. In the construction field, it is often used as a component of lime milk and mortar for wall masonry and plastering. In agriculture, it can adjust soil pH and prevent plant diseases. Additionally, it is applied in scenarios such as food processing (e.g., sugar decolorization) and phosphorus removal in sewage treatment.
