Water lime can be used as disinfectant
Characteristics: lime (calcium oxide) do not have direct sterilization ability. Generally we buy lime should be lime and lime is not directly sterilized, only after adding water into lime has the disinfection effect. So do not use lime powder dry and sterilize. Is not a powder sprinkled uniform, will leave a lot of dead bacteria disinfection, virus still survive in the corner, can spread the disease; two will powder dust, lime dust into the animal respiratory tract respiratory tract after moisture absorption, becomes hydrated lime, alkali not only the disinfection time, corrosion will directly harm the respiratory tract mucosa. The animal health, cause respiratory diseases.Two characteristics: exposure lime storage air can absorb moisture, mature lime. But this change changes have been late, not synchronous. Not at the same time the disinfection will not complete, incomplete disinfection, disinfection of nature is not useful. Bacterial virus is active, if disinfection is not in a field completely, the surviving pathogens re aggregation, reproductive growth, and we think that has been disinfected, produce careless psychology, so one into a retreat, the harm is not worse than failure of disinfection disinfection.
In actual production, because the lime is cheap, you can buy almost everywhere in rural, and there is no unpleasant smell, white appearance is neat, so widely used. Over the years, in contact with the farmers, as lime disinfection supplies, often misused, that is not up to the disinfection effect, in fact. To find the lime disinfection used regardless of the reason, first of all should be familiar with the characteristics of lime disinfection.
The lime white lumps or powder, the main composition of calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide and water can produce heat, commonly known as slaked lime, strong alkalescence, moisture absorption is very strong. Lime can kill various pathogenic bacteria, but ineffective against spores, mainly used for disinfection of walls, floor, septic tanks and sewage ditch.
