Lime hydration process is that quicklime is mixed with a proportional amount of water at a controlled rate. When quicklime is combined with water, chemical reaction will take place, producing hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) and heat. The amount of burnt lime and water should be controlled, with extra amount of water being flashed off as steam because of the heat in the process.

For the hydrated lime production process, it involves a set of machinery. Firstly, quicklime is put into the raw material hopper by truck, then the burnt lime will be crushed to required sizes in the crusher. Then the proper sizes of quicklime is transferred the raw material silo through bucket elevator. Then the quicklime will be fed into hydrator through weighting scale and proper amount of water is metered into the primary and secondary hydrator too. In the hydrators, quicklime and water is mixed thoroughly. To make high quality of slaked lime, tertiary hydrator may be needed. Then the dust collector will collect dust. And then the finished hydrated lime is transferred to separator to separate proper slaked lime and coarse powder. Then the proper sizes of hydrated lime will be transferred to product silo through bucket elevator. Finally, the slaked lime will be packed for use from the product silo.
