Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a process of reducing the usage of lime in a lime slurry, comprising the steps of: 1) forming a mixture comprising at least one polymeric dispersant comprising a straight chain polyacrylate homopolymer and a quantity of water; 2) introducing the mixture to a vessel prior to slaking for preparation of the lime slurry; and 3) slaking a quantity of lime and the mixture in the vessel to form the lime slurry, wherein the usage of lime in the lime slurry is reduced by about 25% to about 37%.
Claims6
A process of reducing the usage of lime in a lime slurry, comprising the steps of:
- forming a mixture comprising at least one polymeric dispersant comprising a straight chain polyacrylate homopolymer and a quantity of water;
- introducing the mixture to a vessel prior to slaking for preparation of the lime slurry, and
- slaking a quantity of lime and the mixture in the vessel to form the lime slurry;
- wherein the usage of lime in the lime slurry is reduced by about 25% to about 37% by weight;
- and
- wherein the lime slurry is prepared under a continuous flow process.
A process of reducing the usage of lime in a lime slurry, comprising the steps of:
- forming a mixture comprising at least one polymeric dispersant and a quantity of water wherein at least one polymeric dispersant is a straight-chain polyacrylate homopolymer and wherein at least one polymeric dispersant is heat-stable;
- adding the mixture comprising at least one polymeric dispersant and the quantity of water to a quantity of lime;
- forming a lime slurry from the mixture comprising at least one polymeric dispersant, the quantity of water, and the quantity of lime,
- wherein the usage of lime in the lime slurry is reduced by about 25% to about 37% by weight;
- and
- wherein the lime slurry is prepared under a continuous flow process.
