Hydration of CAC

The hydration of CAC does not result in the formation of Ca(OH)2. This contributes to enhanced resistance in the presence of phenols, glycerols, sugars, etc. The formation of aluminum hydroxide gel during hydration provides resistance to dilute acids and sulfates. CAC has many industrial applications. It is used in flues, sewers, effluent-tanks, coal hoppers, ash sluices flues, and in industrial plants, e.g., oil refineries, breweries, dairies, and tanneries.
