Calcium hydroxide is a compound which is also a terms as slaked lime. It is made by slaking CaO, a substance with countless industrial applications, in water. This is a chemical reaction that occurs when aluminum sulfate and calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. This gives you calcium carbonate, which acts as a scrubber for CO2 in the air.
The carbonation is the uptake of the atmospheric CO2 by the Ca(OH)2. It’s a reaction that transforms CO2 gas into something solid that can either be stowed tidily out of the way, or used in a number of applications. We play a role in absorbing CO2 from the air, which in turn helps to reduce the amount of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, a key cause of climate change.
With the level of CO2 levels still on the rise, we will have to find ways to bring these emissions down to the desired levels. Splitting apart the CO2 using calcium hydroxide could be the future, locking CO2 away in a nontoxic, solid form. With aluminum sulfate calcium hydroxide used in other industries, we can actually offset some of our carbon footprint and work towards a greener more sustainable future for the planet.
The environmental benefits of sequestrating CO2 using calcium hydroxide are multitudinous and varied. If you are an insect or a plant and can do photosynthesis — which takes CO2 out of the atmosphere — you help slow down the worst effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures and greater extremes of weather. Furthermore, it is possible to use calcium hydroxide in a closed-loop process, which can sequestrate or convert the captured CO2 into valuable products without leading to a negative environmental impact.
Secondly, Ca(OH)2 in various applications may be utilized in multiple industries for climate change mitigation as a CO2 absorbent. It can, for example, produce a significant amount of CO 2 in the process (from cement, e.g.). If we could trap the aluminum sulfate plus calcium hydroxide we use to make cement, we’d basically get the cement industry to do the carbon sequestration work right there in the mine and we’d have solved most of industry’s CO2 release problems. Steel and chemical manufacture – Steel and chemical manufacture can use calcium hydroxide in their process for lower carbon emissions and a cleaner environment.
