influences the particle size of the hydrated lime—and, therefore the reactivity of the slurry. Simply put, the closer the slaking temperature is to the boiling point of water, 212°F (100.0°C), the finer the particle size, the greater the surface area, and the more reactive the slurry. Ideally, it should also not exceed this temperature
