Lime and its Production
Lime slaking 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:
