These beads are usually white or off-white in color and have a powdery texture.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properties_of_Soda_Lime-2\"><\/span>Properties of Soda Lime:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Alkaline Nature:<\/strong> Soda Lime is an alkaline substance due to the presence of compounds like calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This property makes it effective in absorbing acidic gases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hygroscopicity:<\/strong> Soda Lime is highly hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for absorbing moisture from the surrounding environment. This characteristic makes it crucial to store Soda Lime in dry and airtight containers to prevent it from getting activated prematurely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Absorption of Carbon Dioxide:<\/strong> One of the primary functions of Soda Lime is its ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). When exhaled air passes through Soda Lime, it reacts with the alkaline compounds, forming stable carbonates and effectively removing CO2 from the gas mixture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-Flammable and Non-Reactive:<\/strong> Soda Lime is non-flammable and does not react with most common chemicals. This property ensures its safety during handling and use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limited Reusability:<\/strong> Soda Lime is a single-use absorbent and cannot be reused. Once its absorption capacity is exhausted, it needs to be replaced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Odor:<\/strong> Soda Lime has a mild, characteristic odor, which is normal and expected due to its chemical composition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shelf Life:<\/strong> Soda Lime has a limited shelf life, and it is essential to check the expiry date before use. Proper storage in a dry and airtight container can help maintain its effectiveness over time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In medical applications, Soda Lime is often used in anesthesia machines to remove exhaled carbon dioxide from the breathing circuit during surgeries. It plays a vital role in maintaining proper gas exchange and ensuring patient safety. Additionally, Soda Lime finds applications in other industries, such as gas purification and carbon dioxide removal from closed environments.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_of_Soda_Lime\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Uses of Soda Lime<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soda lime used in a number of industrial and commercial applications.
