A hydrated lime product exhibiting superior reactivity towards HCl and SO.sub.2 in air pollution control applications. Also disclosed is a method of providing highly reactive hydrated lime and the resultant lime hydrate where an initial lime feed comprising calcium and impurities is first ground to a particle-size distribution with relatively course particles. Smaller particles are then removed from this ground lime and the smaller particles are hydrated and flash dried to form a hydrated lime, which is then milled to a significantly smaller particle size than that of the relatively course particles. The resultant lime hydrate product has available CaOH of greater than 92%, a citric acid reactivity of less than 20 seconds, a BET surface area greater than 18, a D90 less than 10 m, a D50 less than 4 m, a D90/D50 less than 3, and a large pore volume of greater than 0.2 BJH.

A lime slaker system for converting quicklime to a lime slurry includes: a lime feeder; a base slaker that includes a slaking chamber and a dilution chamber; a grit remover; and a modular water panel with a piping assembly in fluid communication with at least the base slaker and grit remover. The modular water panel is configured to independently control water distributed to the slaking compartment, the dilution chamber, and the grit remover.

Calcium hydroxide-containing compositions can be manufactured by slaking quicklime, and subsequently drying and milling the slaked product. The resulting calcium hydroxide-containing composition can have a size, steepness, pore volume, and/or other features that render the compositions suitable for treatment of exhaust gases and/or removal of contaminants. In some embodiments, the calcium hydroxide-containing compositions can include a D.sub.10 from about 0.5 microns to about 4 microns, a D.sub.90 less than about 30 microns, and a ratio of D.sub.90 to D.sub.10 from about 8 to about 20, wherein individual particles include a surface area greater than or equal to about 25 m.sup.2/g.

The invention comprises a free and renewable energy source and method for generating a superimposed magnetic field for establishing a resonant magnetic field interface with the electromagnetic field generated by an external dipole energy source, whereby, the energy extracted from the superimposed magnetic field is converted to usable energy and distributed to the desired load. Whereby, said generated superimposed magnetic field is precisely tuned to desired resonance frequency by variable resistance and capacitance comprised of controlled inorganic chemical reactions and magnetics. The invention creates an autonomous, secure, efficient, and effective power system designed to generate megawatts of power through extracting energy from carrier waves synchronized to Earth's resonance electromagnetic frequencies and distribute the generated power through existing power distribution stations or autonomous microgrids. Thereby, eliminating dependence on the conventional centralized power grid while providing safeguards ensuring current and future power requirements are satisfied.
