Calcium hydroxide, also known as hydrated lime, is a chemical compound with the formula Ca(OH)2. It is a white, odorless, and alkaline substance that is produced by adding water to calcium oxide, also known as quicklime. The resulting reaction produces calcium hydroxide and releases a large amount of heat.
Hydrated lime is commonly used in various industrial applications such as water treatment, construction, agriculture, and food processing. It is also used as a pH regulator and a flocculant in wastewater treatment plants. Additionally, it is used in the production of cement, as a soil stabilizer, and in the manufacture of chemicals such as calcium stearate and calcium hypochlorite.
In summary, calcium hydroxide, or hydrated lime, is a chemical compound with various industrial applications, produced by adding water to calcium oxide.
