Lime and its Production
The Burnt Lime or Quicklime is then combined with water (slaked) as quickly as possible. From the moment it is burnt the material starts to degrade by ''airslaking''. Combining Quicklime (CaO) and water (H20) produces Calcium Hydroxide (Ca (OH)2 slaked lime and heat. There are three main ways of slaking the Quicklime:
