Calcium Hydroxide, commonly known as hydrated lime or slaked lime, is a fundamental chemical compound with a significant role in numerous industrial manufacturing processes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-purity hydrated lime, a key ingredient that facilitates reactions, purifies products, and enhances efficiency across the chemical industry. Its alkaline nature and reactive properties make it an indispensable component in the synthesis of various chemicals.

One of the primary uses of hydrated lime in chemical manufacturing is as a basic reagent or neutralizing agent. In processes where acidic byproducts are generated or where an alkaline environment is necessary for a reaction to proceed, hydrated lime is often employed. Its ability to react with acids to form stable salts and water makes it effective in controlling pH and purifying intermediate or final products. For instance, in the production of sodium carbonate via the Solvay process (though historically more significant), lime plays a role in regenerating ammonia. Its use in producing other chemicals like calcium carbide and calcium cyanamide further illustrates its importance.

Hydrated lime also serves as an essential intermediate in the production of other calcium compounds. It is a precursor for precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), a widely used filler and pigment in industries such as plastics, paper, and paints. The process involves reacting calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide, a straightforward chemical conversion that relies on the purity and reactivity of the hydrated lime.

In the refining of sugars, particularly cane and beet sugars, hydrated lime is used in the carbonatation process. It helps to purify the sugar juice by precipitating impurities, including organic acids and coloring matter, effectively clarifying the juice before further processing. This application showcases how calcium hydroxide properties contribute to the quality and purity of consumer products.

The versatility of hydrated lime extends to its use in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and food additives. Its mild alkalinity and low toxicity, when purified to food-grade standards, allow it to be used in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical compounds and as a processing aid in the food industry, such as in the production of gelatin and in the refining of edible oils. The consistent quality of hydrated lime from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures it meets the stringent requirements of these sensitive industries.

Furthermore, hydrated lime finds application in waste treatment within chemical plants. It is used to neutralize acidic waste streams and to precipitate heavy metals, ensuring that discharged water meets environmental regulations. This dual role in production and environmental management highlights its integral value to the chemical industry.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a reliable supplier of high-purity hydrated lime, supporting the diverse needs of the chemical manufacturing sector. By understanding the critical industrial applications of calcium hydroxide, manufacturers can optimize their processes, improve product quality, and maintain environmental compliance.
