Hydrated Lime :

Hydrated lime (or calcium hydroxide, or slaked lime) is usually a dry powder resulting from the controlled slaking of quicklime with water. The exothermic or released heat of reaction is captured and used to evaporate the excess slaking water. For "slurry lime" excess water is not evaporated and the hydrate remains as a water suspension .

Introduction :

Quicklime (or calcium oxide, or burnt lime) is obtained by calcining pure limestone at temperatures above 900°C. This highly reactive product is essential to many industrial processes.

 
"Quick Lime " Limestone Calcination: :
CaO
 
Available products :

Pebble, Ground, Milled, Fluidised lime, Low-dust lime, etc.
