CARBIDE LIME SLURRYCarbide lime is a high quality hydrated lime slurry produced as a by-product of the generation of acetylene gas according to the following formula: It is produced as a 10% solids slurry and is stored in tanks, where the excess water is decanted to increase the solids content to the 30-40% range for distribution in 5000 gallon tank trucks. Carbide lime has been used for decades as an alternative source for hydrated lime in such applications as municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, flu-gas desulfurization, sludge conditioning, road stabilization and other applications where normal commercial lime is used. The calcium hydroxide content of the dry solids is in the 90% range. Gilmour & Company has been handling and marketing the product since 1969 as a successful alternative to more expensive commercial hydrated lime slurries. The solids content of carbide lime will vary (averages around 30-35% solids) with each truck load. However, this variability is accounted for in our weighing and billing procedures. Lime slurry can be easily stored in mild steel tanks. Agitation can be accomplished with a slow speed mechanical agitator, pump recirculation, air, etc. A lime slurry with a density of 35% solids will weigh approximately 10.3 pounds per gallon and contain 3.6 pounds dry solids per gallon. |
