FAQS on calcium hydroxide water treatment

Q: What is the role of calcium hydroxide in water treatment?

A: Calcium hydroxide is used to adjust pH levels, neutralize acidic water, and precipitate heavy metals and impurities. It also aids in softening hard water by removing carbonate hardness.

Q: How does calcium hydroxide differ from calcium oxide in water treatment?

A: Calcium oxide (quicklime) reacts exothermically with water to form calcium hydroxide (slaked lime). Calcium hydroxide is more commonly used for precise pH adjustments, while calcium oxide is often applied for high-temperature treatments.

Q: Can calcium hydroxide be generated on-site for water treatment?

A: Yes, calcium hydroxide can be produced by hydrating calcium oxide (CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂). This allows cost-effective, on-demand preparation for large-scale treatment processes.

Q: Is calcium hydroxide safe for drinking water treatment?

A: Yes, when used in regulated amounts, calcium hydroxide is safe and approved for potable water treatment. It removes contaminants without introducing harmful residues, but proper dosing is critical.

Q: What are the advantages of calcium hydroxide over other alkalis in water treatment?

A: Calcium hydroxide offers dual benefits of pH adjustment and contaminant removal via precipitation. It is cost-effective, widely available, and produces less sludge compared to alternatives like sodium hydroxide.
