Mechanically activated highly dispersed hydrate lime

The technology for producing highly active hydrated lime using vibromechanical treatment of lime suspensions has been developed. The processes occurring during the high-frequency mechanical impact on calcium hydroxide microcrystals are investigated. The optimal parameters of vibration treatment of lime slurries were determined. The distribution of lime particles by particle size distribution was determined by laser granulometry, and the change in the morphology of Ca(OH)2 microcrystals after mechanical impact was studied. The processes of carbonization of untreated lime and lime with different duration of vibration treatment were studied.
