About Calcium Hydroxide For Water Treatment

"Calcium Hydroxide", having CAS-No: 1305-62-0, and traditionally being called hydrated lime or slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula as Ca(OH)₂. It is free flowing super fine super white powder, free from grits & other contaminations and is obtained when calcium oxide (quicklime) is "slaked" with water, to form "Hydrated Lime". Calcium Hydroxide is used in a wide variety of traditional & emerging applications, because of its chemical & physical properties. These are high quality optimum products, compliant to various compendiums, being diligently processed under good manufacturing practices. These products are free from all known allergens and do not contain any prohibitory or toxic chemicals or non-kosher ingredients. The usual shelf life of the product is three to six months from the date of manufacturing of batch. This grade of Calcium Hydroxide shall be compliant to the core specifications & requirement of the Filler Grades.

FAQ's of Calcium Hydroxide For Water Treatment:

Q: How is Calcium Hydroxide used in water treatment?

A: Calcium Hydroxide is typically added to water as a powder, where it rapidly dissolves and reacts to increase alkalinity, neutralize acids, and assist in coagulation and flocculation processes, making water suitable for industrial or potable use.

Q: What are the benefits of using Calcium Hydroxide for water treatment?

A: It effectively elevates pH levels, helps precipitate unwanted ions, reduces hardness, and promotes flocculation, leading to clearer, safer water in both industrial and municipal applications.

Q: When should Calcium Hydroxide be added during the water treatment process?

A: It is usually introduced during initial chemical treatment steps, especially when pH correction or softening is required, or prior to flocculation and precipitation processes.

Q: Where should Calcium Hydroxide be stored to maintain its stability?

A: The product should be stored in tightly sealed containers, placed in cool, dry zones away from moisture to maintain its efficacy and ensure a shelf life of 12-24 months.

Q: What safety precautions are necessary when handling Calcium Hydroxide?

A: Although non-toxic, use standard protective gear such as gloves and eyewear to avoid contact with eyes or prolonged skin exposure, as its alkaline nature can cause irritation.

Q: How is Calcium Hydroxide manufactured for water treatment applications?

A: It is produced by hydrating high-purity quicklime in a controlled process, resulting in a highly reactive, fine white powder suitable for water treatment.

Q: What is the recommended packaging size for large-scale water treatment projects?

A: For bulk or large-scale applications, Calcium Hydroxide is supplied in 50 kg HDPE bags with liners, ensuring safe transport, storage, and ease of handling at the site.
