    Calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime, is a white powder used as a neutralizing agent and buffer. It has the chemical formula Ca(OH)2 and is slightly soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol. Calcium hydroxide purity tests limit contaminants such as barium, magnesium, and alkali salts to less than 0.03%, 6%, and 1% respectively. It is manufactured by dissolving calcium hydroxide in dilute hydrochloric acid and titrating the solution with a disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate solution to determine the calcium hydroxide content.

    Chemical formula Ca(OH)2

    Formula weight 74.09

    Assay Not less than 92.0%

    DESCRIPTION White powder

    FUNCTIONAL USES Neutralizing agent, buffer, firming agent

    CHARACTERISTICS
    IDENTIFICATION

    Solubility (Vol. 4) Slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, soluble in glycerol.

    Test for alkali The sample is alkaline to moistened litmus paper

    Test for calcium (Vol. 4) Passes test

    PURITY

    Barium Not more than 0.03%


    Mix 1.5 g of the sample with 10 ml of water, add 15 ml of dilute hydrochloric
    acid TS and dilute to 30 ml with water and filter. To 20 ml of the filtrate, add 2
    g of sodium acetate, 1 ml of dilute acetic acid TS and 0.5 ml of potassium
    chromate TS, and allow to stand for 15 min. The turbidity of the solution is not
    greater than that of a control prepared by adding water to 0.3 ml of barium
    standard solution (1.779 g barium chloride in 1000 ml of water) to make to 20
    ml, adding 2 g of sodium acetate, 1 ml of dilute acetic acid TS and 0.5 ml of
    potassium chromate TS and allowing to stand for 15 min.

    Magnesium and alkali Not more than 6%


    salts Dissolve 500 mg of the sample in a mixture of 30 ml of water and 10 ml of
    dilute hydrochloric acid TS and boil for 1 min. Quickly add 40 ml of oxalic acid
    TS and stir vigorously until precipitation is well established. Immediately add 2
    drops of methyl red TS, then add ammonia TS dropwise until the mixture is
    just alkaline and cool. Transfer the mixture to a 100-ml cylinder, dilute to
    volume with water, let stand for 4 h or overnight, then decant the clear,
    supernatant liquid through a dry filter paper. To 50 ml of the clear filtrate in a
    platinum dish add 0.5 ml of sulfuric acid, and evaporate the mixture on a
    steam bath to a small volume. Carefully evaporate the remaining liquid to
    dryness over a flame, and continue the heating until the ammonium salts have
    been completely decomposed and volatilized. Finally, ignite the residue to
    constant weight. The weight of the residue does not exceed 15 mg.

    Acid insoluble ash Not more than 1.0%


    Dissolve 2 g of the sample in 30 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid (1 in 3) and heat
    to boiling. Filter the mixture, wash the residue with hot water and ignite. The
    weight of the residue does not exceed 20 mg.

    Fluoride (Vol. 4) Not more than 50 mg/kg (Method I or III)

    Lead (Vol. 4) Not more than 2 mg/kg


    Determine using an atomic absorption technique appropriate to the specified
    level. The selection of sample size and method of sample preparation may be
    based on the principles of the method described in Volume 4, “Instrumental
    Methods.”

    METHOD OF Weigh accurately about 1.5 g of the sample, transfer to a beaker, and
    ASSAY gradually add 30 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid TS. When solution is complete,
    transfer to a 500-ml volumetric flask, rinse the beaker thoroughly, adding the
    rinsings to the flask, dilute to volume with water, and mix. Pipet 50 ml of the
    solution into a suitable container and add 50 ml of water and 15 ml of sodium
    hydroxide TS, 40 mg of murexide indicator (amm. purpurate) and 3 ml of
    naphthol green TS, and titrate with 0.05 M disodium
    ethylenediaminetetraacetate until the solution is deep blue in colour. Each ml
    of 0.05 M disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate is equivalent to 3.705 mg of
    Ca(OH)2.
