Hydrated Lime Slurry has been used
in
various applications
for many years. Making lime slurry from
dry hydrated lime has been the norm for many industrial applications
because it
can be blended with water with basic mixing equipment.
However, it has its drawbacks such as price,
large silos for storage and the resultant bridging and other handling
problems.
In the past hydrated
lime
slurry made from quicklime had
its drawbacks also. Normally, only low
concentrations of lime slurry could be used because of the high
viscosity of
the slurry made from quicklime. Generally,
only construction uses could accept the
paste-like
consistency of quicklime slurry in concentrations above 30%. Although most industrial uses required
maximum concentrations of slurry made from quicklime to be no more than
25%,
they could not take full advantage of the small particle size of
quicklime
slurry because of the relatively high water to quicklime ratio which
lowers
slaking temperatures resulting in larger particle sizes and lower
reactivity.
The advent of the
Lime-Save
process now allows practically all lime consumers
to take advantage of the positive advantages of quicklime slurry while
minimizing or eliminating the negative aspects of both slurry made from
either
quicklime or dry hydrate while improving the handling aspects and
minimizing
the dreaded scaling qualities of lime.
Applying the Lime-Save
process to a variety of industries is
shown in the following pages. If
