A hydroxide of calcium. Also known as slaked lime. It is obtained by reacting calcium oxide (quicklime) with water or steam (slaked lime). The product that is rapidly produced is a white powder, but if left in water it changes to hexagonal plate crystals. When heated to 580°C, it decomposes, releasing steam, and returns to calcium oxide. Ca(OH) 2 →CaO+ H2O Ca(OH) 2 +CO 2 →CaCO 3 +H 2 O Calcium hydroxide is an inexpensive, strong alkaline substance, and is used as an agent for treating acidic waste, a neutralizer for acidic soil, a disinfectant, etc. In the chemical industry, it is used as a raw material for bleaching powder, is widely used as an alkali for reactions, and is also important in the construction industry as a material for mortar and plaster.

カルシウムの水酸化物。消石灰ともいう。酸化カルシウム(生石灰)に水または水蒸気を作用させると得られる(生石灰の消和)。急速に生成したものは白色粉末であるが、水中に放置すると六方晶系の板状晶に変わる。加熱すると580℃で水蒸気を出して分解し、酸化カルシウムに戻る。 Ca(OH)2→CaO+H2O Ca(OH)2+CO2→CaCO3+H2O 水酸化カルシウムは安価な強アルカリ物質なので、酸性廃棄物の処理剤、酸性土壌の中和剤、消毒剤などとして用いられる。化学工業ではさらし粉の原料となるほか、反応用アルカリとして広く利用され、建築分野でもモルタル、漆食(しっくい)の材料として重要である。 [鳥居泰男] [補完資料] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
