Hydrated LIME and slaked LIME are all common names for calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2]. It is used as a source of calcium and alkalinity in both water- and oil-base drilling fluids. Hydrated LI ME, a widely available commercial chemical, is an economical source of calcium (Ca2+) and hydroxyl ions (OH–). Drilling fluid applications for LIME include: increasing pH; providing excess LIME as an alkalinity buffer; flocculating bentonite muds; removing soluble carbonate (CO32–) ions; controlling corrosion; and activating fatty-acid, oil-base mud additives.
