PRODUCT USAGE

Calcium hydroxide can be produced by reacting calcium oxide with water in a carbon dioxide-free environment, or by double decomposition reaction between calcium salts (such as calcium nitrate) and strong alkalis (such as potassium hydroxide) in a carbon dioxide-free environment, followed by filtration and drying. Calcium hydroxide can be used to manufacture cement, furnace linings, and as a binding material in the construction industry; as a flux in the metallurgical industry; in industrial manufacturing for sugar production, leather tanning, and glass manufacturing; in the food industry as an acidity regulator, and for soaking fruits and vegetables in lime water to maintain their crispness; and in the pharmaceutical industry to inhibit bacterial growth.
