Each pound of CaO will slake to form 1.16 to 1.32 lb of CA(OH)2 (depending on purity) and from 2 to 12%
grit.
3
"Floodable" as used in this table with dry powder means that, under some conditions, the material entrains air
and
becomes "fluidized" so that it will flow through small openings, like water.
4
For small doses of chlorine, use calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite.
5
Information about many other coagulant aids (or flocculant aids) is available from Nalco, Calgon, Drew, Betz,
North
American Mogul, American Cyanamid, Dow, etc.
