Uses of Slaked Lime: Transformative Applications Shaping Building Materials

Source: adminDate: 2025-04-29

After slaked lime and sand are mixed in a certain proportion, an appropriate amount of water is added and stirred evenly to prepare lime mortar. Lime mortar has good adhesion and plasticity, and can be used for masonry, plastering and masonry repair. Its construction performance is stable, the viscosity and hardening time of the material can be adjusted, and it is suitable for various building structures.

Used in gypsum preparation

After slaked lime and gypsum are mixed in a certain proportion, an appropriate amount of water is added and stirred evenly to prepare gypsum mortar. Gypsum mortar has high strength and durability, and can be used to make decorative gypsum lines, gypsum boards and other building decoration materials. Gypsum mortar can also be used for interior wall plastering, caulking and repair work to improve the flatness and beauty of the wall.

Slaked lime can be mixed with natural pigments, adhesives, etc. to prepare lime paint. Lime paint has the characteristics of good respiration, environmental protection and pollution-free, antibacterial and mildew-proof, and is suitable for paint construction on indoor and outdoor walls. Lime coating can provide a protective film for buildings, preventing water penetration and ultraviolet radiation, and extending the service life of buildings.

Slaked lime for stone protection

Slaked lime can be used for stone protection and repair. Slaked lime is made into lime paste and applied to the surface of stone, which can play a role in cleaning, decontamination, antibacterial and water penetration. Lime paste can also fill cracks on the surface of stone and increase the strength and stability of stone.

Lime digester Working Principle

After the sieved calcium oxide (quicklime block) is crushed, it is lifted to the raw material warehouse (also known as lime storage warehouse) for standby;

When the digestion machine is turned on, the calcium oxide (20~40mm block material) is quantitatively and uniformly fed into the lime digestion box through a vibrating feeder, and the feeding speed can be adjusted at will;

After adding natural water (H₂O), the calcium oxide block material absorbs water and produces a chemical reaction in 5~8 seconds, gradually converting into calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), and at the same time produces a large amount of hot steam, and carries a certain amount of calcium hydroxide powder;

Under the action of the fan, the hot steam is discharged outward through the pipeline, and the installed spray nozzles and spray nozzles form a water curtain wall section of a certain width and height under the action of the dust removal water pump. After filtering the dust in the hot steam, it is discharged into the atmosphere through the pipeline.
