  2. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide

    Calcium oxide (formula: Ca O), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic , alkaline , crystalline solid at room temperature . The broadly used term lime connotes calcium-containing inorganic compounds , in which carbonates , oxides , and hydroxides of calcium, silicon , magnesium ...

  3. Lime (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(material)

    Lime is an inorganic material composed primarily of calcium oxides and hydroxides. It is also the name for calcium oxide which is used as an industrial mineral and is made by heating calcium carbonate in a kiln. Calcium oxide can occur as a product of coal-seam fires and in altered limestone xenoliths in volcanic ejecta. [1]

  4. Lime sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_sulfur

    About 2.2:1 is the ratio (by weight) for compounding sulfur and quicklime; this makes the highest proportion of calcium pentasulfide. If calcium hydroxide (builders or hydrated lime) is used, an increase by 1/3 or more (to 115 g/L or more) might be used with the 192 g/L of sulfur. If the quicklime is 85%, 90%, or 95% pure, use 101 g/L, 96 g/L ...

    A purer, more stable form of calcium hypochlorite is called HTH or high test hypochlorite. It is also available as bleaching tablets that contain calcium hypochlorite and other ingredients to prevent the tablets from crumbling. A supposedly more stable mixture of calcium hypochlorite and quicklime (calcium oxide) is known as "tropical bleach". [22]

  8. Lime kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_kiln

    The theoretical heat (the standard enthalpy) of reaction required to make high-calcium lime is around 3.15 MJ per kg of lime, so the batch kilns were only around 20% efficient. The key to development in efficiency was the invention of continuous kilns, avoiding the wasteful heat-up and cool-down cycles of the batch kilns.

  9. Tooth whitening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_whitening

    The perception of tooth colour is multi-factorial. Reflection and absorption of light by the tooth can be influenced by a number of factors including specular transmission of light through the tooth; specular reflection at the surface; diffuse light reflection at the surface; absorption and scattering of light within the dental tissues; enamel mineral content; enamel thickness; dentine colour ...
