Lime softening (also known as lime buttering, lime-soda treatment, or Clark's process) [1] is a type of water treatment used for water softening, which uses the addition of limewater (calcium hydroxide) to remove hardness (deposits of calcium and magnesium salts) by precipitation.
Lime softening is the process in which lime is added to hard water to make it softer. It has several advantages [ further explanation needed ] over the ion-exchange method but is mainly suited to commercial treatment applications.

Prepared agricultural lime staged near a field in the UK. Liming is the application of calcium- (Ca) and magnesium (Mg)-rich materials in various forms, including marl, chalk, limestone, burnt lime or hydrated lime to soil. [1] In acid soils, these materials react as a base and neutralize soil acidity.
Lime production was sometimes carried out on an industrial scale. One example at Annery in North Devon , England , near Great Torrington , was made up of three kilns grouped together in an 'L' shape and was situated beside the Torrington canal and the River Torridge to bring in the limestone and coal, and to transport away the calcined lime in ...
Eminently hydraulic lime (NHL 5) is used for external work in exposed areas, such as chimneys and for floor slabs/underpinning. Eminently hydraulic lime contains clay in the range of 21% to 30%. Properties of eminently hydraulic lime are close to those of cement. Eminently hydraulic lime sets within one day after the addition of water.
