Calcium hydroxide, commonly known as slaked lime, is an indispensable raw material in the fields of environmental protection, construction, and chemical industry. Its production process seems simple, but it actually involves multiple precise links and equipment. Today, we will deeply analyze the process flow, core equipment, and how to achieve efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost production of calcium hydroxide production line.


I. Process flow of calcium hydroxide production line
- Raw material preparation
Select quicklime raw materials with an effective calcium oxide content of more than 85%, and remove coal ash and impurities through screening to ensure the purity of the raw materials. - Crushing
Crush the quicklime into particles with a particle size of about 20mm. Particles of this size have a small difference in water absorption time and a consistent amount of water absorption, which is conducive to the uniformity of subsequent digestion reactions. - Calcium oxide storage tank
The crushed quicklime is sent to the storage tank through a bucket elevator to prepare for the digestion reaction. - Digestion reaction
The digester is one of the core equipment of the production line. Water and quicklime react in the digester to produce calcium hydroxide. Common types of digesters include drum type and trough type. During the reaction, the water-cement ratio, temperature and reaction time must be strictly controlled to ensure product quality. - Dust removal
During the digestion process, high-temperature steam and dust will be generated, which will be treated by dust removal equipment to ensure that the exhaust gas meets environmental protection standards. - Screening and grading
The digested calcium hydroxide is screened to remove impurities and obtain refined slaked lime. The semi-finished product is sent to the grader through a screw conveyor and a bucket elevator to further separate qualified products. - Grinding and powder selection
The qualified slaked lime is ground into fine powder by a grinding mill and graded by a powder selector. The coarse powder that does not meet the requirements is returned to the grinding mill for re-grinding, and the fine powder enters the finished product warehouse. - Finished product processing
Finally, the calcium hydroxide powder is collected in the finished product warehouse, waiting for packaging or further processing.
Core equipment and technical advantages
- Digester
The digester is the core equipment of the production line, and its design directly affects the reaction efficiency and product quality. Drum and trough digesters have their own advantages and can be selected according to production needs. - Grinding mill and powder selector
The grinding mill and powder selector for calcium hydroxide can grind slaked lime to the required particle size and ensure the uniformity and purity of the product. - Automated control system
Modern production lines use PLC or DCS control systems to achieve accurate monitoring and automated operation of the production process, improve efficiency and reduce labor costs.
