Slaked Lime

Slaked Lime Manufacturers - Shaurya Minerals

Shaurya Minerals is one of the leading slaked lime manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters in India. Slaked lime is found to be extensively used in various industrial applications to perform a variety of functions. Primarily, it serves as an alkali (base) to elevate pH levels. The process of creating hydrated lime, also known as slaked lime, involves adding water to calcium oxide (CaO), or quicklime. This action triggers an exothermic reaction called slaking, resulting in the formation of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). Initially, calcium hydroxide is generated as a fine dry powder. Upon further water addition, a mixture of calcium hydroxide, commonly referred to as milk of lime, limewater, or lime slurry, is produced.

How is Slaked Lime Produced?

Calcium hydroxide/Slaked Lime is typically made by reaction of Calcium oxide (CaO) with water (H 2O). The chemical reaction is exothermic, meaning that an enormous amount of heat is produced.
