Industry Core Definition
According to general industrial flue gas treatment standards, high surface area hydrated lime refers to calcium hydroxide products with a stable specific surface area of 40-100m²/g, which is different from ordinary hydrated lime with a specific surface area below 30m²/g in its higher reaction activity and lower calcium-sulfur ratio. Its core attributes include: technical attribute of high porosity and controllable activity, application attribute of industrial flue gas emission reduction supporting, and market attribute of globalization driven by strict environmental protection policies.

2016-2020 | Core process breakthrough, stable specific surface area ≥50m²/g | Product performance improved significantly, industry standardization process accelerated |
2021-2026 | Intelligent production upgrade and global market expansion | Widely applied in ultra-low emission scenarios, market scale grows rapidly |
Industry Classification System
1. By core technology: Ordinary hydrated lime, with specific surface area <30m²/g, low activity, high consumption, suitable for general industrial desulfurization scenarios; High surface area hydrated lime, with specific surface area 40-100m²/g, high activity, low consumption, suitable for ultra-low emission scenarios.
2. By application scenario: Steel and coking scenario, solving high-sulfur flue gas treatment pain points; Waste power generation scenario, solving multi-pollutant collaborative governance pain points; Building materials scenario, solving low-temperature flue gas desulfurization pain points.
Core Technology & Compliance Standards
Core supporting technologies include: High pore structure regulation technology, which optimizes pore volume and specific surface area of calcium hydroxide through special processes to improve desulfurization reaction rate, reducing desulfurizer consumption by 20%-40%; By-product resource utilization technology, which controls reaction sufficiency to reduce unreacted Ca(OH)₂ proportion to ≤5%, realizing zero solid waste emission. Compliance standards include SGS international product certification, ISO 9001 quality management system certification, and CE EU market access certification.
Application Scenarios & Value
1. Steel and coking industry: Solves pain points of high desulfurizer consumption and equipment corrosion. In a case of a steel mill in Shandong, China, the product stabilizes SO₂ emission at ≤35mg/m³, extends filter bag service life by over 30%, and reduces desulfurizer consumption by 20%-40%.
2. Waste power generation industry: Solves pain points of large flue gas component fluctuation and poor multi-pollutant governance. In a case of Everbright Environment's waste power plant in Tianjin, China, desulfurizer consumption per ton of waste drops from 18-20kg to 6kg, and outlet SO₂ fluctuation is controlled within ±5mg/Nm³.
Market Status & Trends
Current market is driven by global ultra-low emission policies, with Asia-Pacific as the core demand region, and high surface area hydrated lime gradually replacing traditional sodium bicarbonate desulfurization processes. Future trends include growing demand for customized specific surface area products, popularization of by-product resource utilization technology, and global supply chain localization supporting services.
