  2. Soda lime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_lime

    Each mole of CO 2 (44 g) reacts with one mole of calcium hydroxide (74 g) and produces one mole of water (18 g). The reaction can be considered as a strong-base-catalysed, water-facilitated reaction. [5] The reaction mechanism of carbon dioxide with soda lime can be decomposed in three elementary steps: 1) () (CO 2 dissolves in water – slow ...

  3. Lime softening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_softening

    As lime in the form of limewater is added to raw water, the pH is raised and the equilibrium of carbonate species in the water is shifted. Dissolved carbon dioxide (CO 2) is changed into bicarbonate (HCO − 3) and then carbonate (CO 2-3). This action causes calcium carbonate to precipitate due to exceeding the solubility product.

  4. Calcium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide

    Calcium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to give calcium hydroxychloride and then calcium chloride. In a process called sulfation, sulphur dioxide reacts with limewater: Ca(OH) 2 (aq) + SO 2 (g) → CaSO 3 (s) + H 2 O (l) Limewater is used in a process known as lime softening to reduce water hardness. It is also used as a neutralizing ...

  5. Solubility chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_chart

    The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.

  6. Soap scum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_scum

    Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions, which react with the surfactant anion to give these metallic or lime soaps. [1] 2 C 17 H 35 COO − Na + + Ca 2+ → (C 17 H 35 COO) 2 Ca + 2 Na + In this reaction, the sodium cation in soap is replaced by calcium to form calcium stearate. Lime soaps build deposits on fibres, washing machines, and ...

  7. Chemical phosphorus removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_phosphorus_removal

    Chemical phosphorus removal is a wastewater treatment method, where phosphorus is removed using salts of aluminum (e.g. alum or polyaluminum chloride), iron (e.g. ferric chloride), or calcium (e.g. lime). Phosphate forms precipitates with the metal ions and is removed together with the sludge in the separation unit (sedimentation tank ...

  8. Carbonatation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonatation

    Carbonatation is a slow process that occurs in concrete where lime (CaO, or Ca(OH) 2 ) in the cement reacts with carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the air and forms calcium carbonate. The water in the pores of Portland cement concrete is normally alkaline with a pH in the range of 12.5 to 13.5.

  9. Solvay process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_process

    The ammonia from reaction (III) is recycled back to the initial brine solution of reaction (I). The sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3) precipitate from reaction (I) is then converted to the final product, sodium carbonate (washing soda: Na 2 CO 3), by calcination (160–230 °C), producing water and carbon dioxide as byproducts:
