Calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime, is a neutralizing chemical that functions as a catalyst in the manufacturing of rubber and plastics. It is a base with different commercial operations. It is majorly associated with different market sectors, covering the chemical, construction, agrochemical, and paper industries. It is a chemical compound that is primarily used to develop mixtures prepared for construction activities. It is utilized as the chief component in the preparation of mortar with a fine adhesive nature, used for bricks, plasters, cement, stones, etc.

It is often used as a neutralizer in chemical reactions, as it is basic. It can easily react with acids and result in the production of its salts. It can also be used as a vital element to produce other compounds, such as ammonia, and can be used in paper processing activities as well. It acts as a scrubber, eliminating nitrogen and sulfur oxides generated as byproducts in specific chemical reactions on a commercial scale. Additionally, it can be used as a component in preparing pesticides in the agrochemical industry.

The market for slaked lime is driven by its wide-range demand as a base in the chemical, construction, paper, and agrochemical industries. The compound is largely used in the preparation of chemical salts through a neutralization reaction. Its application as a base in such reactions boosts its demand and has a positive impact on its market growth. Moreover, its utilization in different commercial operations, such as the preparation of concrete mixtures, with fine adhesiveness and production of pesticides, paints, waterproofing materials, etc., amplifies its demand further governing industrial calcium hydroxide procurement.

The variations in its demand as a chemical neutralizer or basic component drive its market growth and directly influence its procurement process. A few of the factors that must not be overlooked by procurement executives are the demand fluctuation, price, and availability as well as the accessibility of the raw material essential for manufacturing slaked lime. These factors directly influence industrial calcium hydroxide procurement.

Raw Material for Calcium Hydroxide

According to the calcium hydroxide manufacturing plant project report, the raw material for calcium hydroxide production includes calcium oxide, also known as quick lime.

Manufacturing Process for Calcium Hydroxide

The extensive calcium hydroxide production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing processes:

• Production from Calcium Oxide: The grounded powder of calcium oxide is gradually mixed with water resulting in an exothermic reaction producing a dry white powder of calcium hydroxide.

Calcium Hydroxide is a corrosive compound with a white-colored powder-like appearance. It is a chemical powder with moderate solubility in water. Similarly, it is finely soluble in other solvents, such as glycerol, while it is insoluble in alcohols, including ethanol. It has a slightly sweet and characteristic alkaline odor. Its melting point is measured at approximately 580 °C.

Its density is 2.24 g/cm3, which is marked at a standard temperature of 25 °C. Calcium hydroxide is a calcium oxide derivative produced by the chemical reaction between calcium oxide and water. The reaction results in an exothermic condition, yielding calcium hydroxide at the end.

The compound remains stable under normal conditions while reacting in the presence of acids and calcium dioxide. Its reaction with acids results in their corresponding salts such as the reaction of calcium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid gives calcium chloride salt. The compound undergoes decomposition when heated at an elevated temperature. It decomposes and reduces to give calcium oxide at the end.
