It is also used as a Powerful Drying Agent, or Desiccant, in commercial and industrial usage. It is also useful for the construction of Gas Masks. It plays an essential role for the measurement of soil carbon dioxide efflux upon absorption. It is also useful for direct measurement of dissolved carbon dioxide.

Application

Soda-Lime is a mixture of chemicals, used in granular form in closed breathing environments, such as general anesthesia, submarines, rebreathers, recompression chambers, respiratory therapy departments and xenon delivery systems, to remove carbon dioxide from breathing gases to prevent CO2 retention and carbon dioxide 

Technical Specification

Soda Lime Carbon Dioxide Absorbent is High Performance Grade Absorbent. RXSOL-81-8197-025 is a versatile CO2 absorbent for removal of carbon dioxide and other acidic contaminants from gas streams. It is a specialize compound consisting primarily of hydrated lime (Ca)OH)2) with other ingredient is an active compound of mixture of hydroxides, indicator. Indicating RXSOL-81-8197-025 absorbent contains ethyl violet indicator which changes from white to violet as its capacity for absorption is exhausted.
