Yes you can used Calcium Hydroxide as a soil conditioner but depends upon soil pH. It has higher pH and corrosive in nature you can apply carefully. Hydrated Lime Treatment is particularly suitable for the rapid response phase due to its short treatment time, simple process and use of readily available materials. With trained and skilled staff, it allows for safe, cost-effective and rapid treatment of faecal sludge with outputs that can be safely used for irrigation or soil amendment or can be safely infiltrated or disposed of, if the environmental conditions permit.

In agriculture, sodium hydroxide is known as "hydrated lime". You might look up its use as a liming product. Potential concerns might include contaminants in the sludge (heavy metals ? organic chemicals ?), and the fact that the material will be caustic if handled.

When using this calcium hydroxide dried sludge the high pH and EC are problematic.
The mixture of sludge with grain straws can be amended with ammonoiiq sulfate and or sulfur to bring down the pH target 6.7 for an alkaline soil and 7.3 for an acidic soil. The composting of the sludge shoule allow neutralizing by amendment should reasonable and the stablized organic matter will address issues of the salts and salinity.
Compost can be turned with an analysis of the heating cycles after 3 cycles the material should be stabilized and not represent issues when the process is done properly.
