White hydrated lime powder, also known as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)), is used in various applications such as construction, water treatment, and agriculture. Here is a general specification for white hydrated lime powder:

1. Chemical Composition:

• Main Component: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH))
• Purity: Typically, 95% to 99% pure calcium hydroxide

2. Physical Properties:

• Appearance: White, fine powder
• Odor: Odorless
• Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; forms a milky suspension (lime water) when mixed
• Bulk Density: Approximately 0.6 to 0.8 g/cm³

3. Chemical Properties:

• Calcium Oxide Content (CaO): Typically 70% to 75%
• pH (0.1% Solution): Typically 12.4 to 12.8
• Loss on Ignition: Generally less than 5%, indicating the amount of calcium carbonate or other impurities present

4. Granulation:

• Mesh Size: Typically passes through a 100-mesh sieve (fine powder). Granulation can vary depending on the intended use.

5. Moisture Content:

• Moisture: Usually less than 1% to 2% to ensure effective performance and prevent clumping.

6. Heavy Metals:

• Lead (Pb): Typically less than 10 ppm (parts per million)

7. Usage:

• Applications: Used in construction (as a lime mortar or plaster), water treatment (as a flocculant), soil stabilization, and in various chemical processes.

8. Storage:

• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause caking or loss of reactivity.
