Lime Hydrator

  • Brief Product Description A Lime Hydrator is a chemical process where quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) reacts with water (H₂O) to form slaked lime or hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂). This process, also known as “lime slaking,” is exothermic. The Lime Hydrator is designed to precisely control this reaction, manage the generated heat, and produce hydrated lime of specific quality and particle size. The final product, hydrated lime, is used in numerous industries, including water and wastewater treatment, construction (mortars and plasters), steel production, agriculture (soil amendment), and chemical manufacturing.

Structural Features lime hydrator

    • Reaction Chamber: Typically a robust cylinder or vessel where the reaction takes place.
    • Quicklime Feeding System: Includes a hopper and a feeder mechanism for accurate input of quicklime (lumpy or powdered).
    • Water Injection System: Nozzles or injection systems for adding the precise amount of water required for the quicklime.
    • Internal Agitator or Mixer: For uniform mixing of lime and water, facilitating the hydration process, and preventing product clumping.
    • Heat Management System: Includes insulation layers, a cooling system (if needed), or a specific design to dissipate reaction heat.
    • Product Discharge System: A mechanism for removing the produced hydrated lime.
    • Temperature and Moisture Controllers: Sensors and control systems for monitoring and adjusting process parameters.
    • Durable Materials: Use of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant steel for parts in contact with lime and alkaline materials.

Mechanism of Operation Quicklime (CaO) is fed into the reaction chamber via the feeding system. Simultaneously, a precise amount of water (H₂O) is added by the injection system. The exothermic reaction CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + Heat begins. The internal agitators continuously mix the materials, ensuring all quicklime reacts with water. The heat generated is managed by the machine’s design. The resulting hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂), produced as a fine powder or paste (depending on machine design and water content), is then discharged through the outlet system. The process is controlled to maintain the final temperature and product particle size within the desired range.
