The addition of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), or lime, causes the fluoride to precipitate as insoluble calcium fluoride, and iron to precipitate as iron hydroxide, which can easily be carried out on-site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-2121-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-2121-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2121-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Advantages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Removes iron oxides (rust), welding skin, mill scale and annealing skin as well as silicate compounds;<\/li>\n<li>Lower operating temperature (50-70\u00b0C);<\/li>\n<li>Suitable for higher alloyed steels that include chromium or P91\/P92;<\/li>\n<li>Can dissolve copper oxides if present (through an adjusted cleaning procedure);<\/li>\n<li>Can be used if both carbon steel and stainless steel are present;<\/li>\n<li>Simpler waste water treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-2121-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2121-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Disadvantages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Large amounts of waste water;<\/li>\n<li>Use of both corrosive and toxic chemicals;<\/li>\n<li>Cannot be used if copper piping is present;<\/li>\n<li>Longer cleaning time;<\/li>\n<li>Greater health and safety risks with improper use;<\/li>\n<li>With incorrect use, there is a risk of corrosion of the base material.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suitable for: Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloys with chrome or P91\/92 Removes: Iron oxides (rust), welding skin, mill scale, annealing skin &amp; silicate compounds.
