  2. Calcium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide

    Calcium hydroxide is modestly soluble in water, as seen for many dihydroxides. Its solubility increases from 0.66 g/L at 100 °C to 1.89 g/L at 0 °C. [8] Its solubility product K sp of 5.02 × 10 −6 at 25 °C, [1] its dissociation in water is large enough that its solutions are basic according to the following dissolution reaction:

  3. Lime sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_sulfur

    If calcium hydroxide (builders or hydrated lime) is used, an increase by 1/3 or more (to 115 g/L or more) might be used with the 192 g/L of sulfur. If the quicklime is 85%, 90%, or 95% pure, use 101 g/L, 96 g/L, or 91 g/L; if impure hydrated lime is used, its quantity is increased to compensate, though in practice lime with a purity lower than ...

  4. Spray (liquid drop) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_(liquid_drop)

    Calcium hydroxide (lime) is atomized into a spray dryer absorber to remove acid gases (SO2 and HCl) from coal-fired power plants. Water is sprayed to remove particulate solids using a spray tower or a cyclonic spray scrubber [ 14 ] Cooling towers use spray nozzles to distribute water.

  5. Whitewash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash

    Whitewash, calcimine, kalsomine, calsomine, asbestis or lime paint is a type of paint made from slaked lime (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2) or chalk (calcium carbonate, CaCO 3), sometimes known as "whiting". Various other additives are sometimes used.

  6. Bordeaux mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordeaux_mixture

    Calcium oxide (burnt lime) and calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) give the same end result, since an excess of water is used in the preparation. The conventional method of describing the mixture's composition is to give the weight of CuSO 4, the weight of hydrated lime and the volume of water, in that order.

  7. Plaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaster

    When exposed to the atmosphere, the calcium hydroxide very slowly turns back into calcium carbonate through reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide, causing the plaster to increase in strength. Lime plaster was a common building material for wall surfaces in a process known as lath and plaster , whereby a series of wooden strips on a studwork ...

  8. Nair (hair removal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nair_(hair_removal)

    Calcium hydroxide is an active ingredient that chemically breaks down the hair for removal. [6] Some formulations also contain potassium thioglycolate, which breaks down the disulfide bonds in the hair's keratin. [6] The products often include softening agents, such as mineral oil, to help offset the harsh active ingredients. [6]

  9. Copper pesticide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_pesticide

    Copper pesticide is applied as a contact protective foliar spray, so it remains deposited on leaf surfaces. A small concentration of copper ions may be taken up by plants as essential nutrients. Copper foliar sprays are also applied to correct plant copper deficiency. [8] Excess absorbed copper ions can kill sensitive cells in copper sensitive ...
