Water Purification Lime 1000kg<\/p>\n
Lime (Calcium Hydroxide) is used in water purification primarily to adjust pH, soften water by precipitating hardness minerals (calcium\/magnesium), remove impurities (like phosphorus, metals, silica), control odors, and aid disinfection by raising alkalinity, making water clearer, safer, and less corrosive. <\/p>\n
Its low cost, effectiveness, and low toxicity make it ideal for both municipal drinking water and industrial wastewater treatment. <\/p>\n
Key Uses in Water Purification:
pH Adjustment & Alkalinity: Neutralizes acidic water, preventing pipe corrosion and optimizing other treatment chemicals.
Water Softening (Lime Softening): Removes calcium and magnesium ions that cause hardness by causing them to precipitate out as solids.
Coagulation & Flocculation: Helps smaller particles clump together (flocculate) for easier removal through sedimentation or filtration, clarifying water.
Phosphorus Removal: Precipitates phosphorus as calcium phosphate, a solid that can be filtered out.
Disinfection: High alkalinity levels (pH > 10.5) kill harmful bacteria like E. coli, stabilizing sludge and controlling odors.
Heavy Metal Removal: Precipitates dissolved heavy metals as hydroxides, removing them from the water.
Sludge Conditioning: Stabilizes sludge, making it less offensive and suitable for beneficial reuse.

How it\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds Applied:
Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) is typically added as a slurry (mixed with water) or dry-fed into the water stream.
It\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds used in both potable (drinking) water and wastewater treatment. <\/p>\n
It is used in water treatment plants for purifying water. Calcium hydroxide<\/p>\n
Lime softening is a water treatment process that uses calcium hydroxide, or limewater, to soften water by removing calcium and magnesium ions<\/b>.<\/p>\n
In this process, hydrated lime is added to the water to raise its pH level and precipitate the ions that cause hardness<\/p>\n
