2. Lime (material) - Wikipedia

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

   In the lime industry, limestone is a general term for rocks that contain 80% or more of calcium or magnesium carbonate, including marble, chalk, oolite, and marl.Further classification is done by composition as high calcium, argillaceous (clayey), silicious, conglomerate, magnesian, dolomite, and other limestones.

3. Silicate mineral paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral_paint

   Silicate mineral paints or mineral colors are paint coats with mineral binding agents. Two relevant mineral binders play a role in the field of colors: Lime and silicate. Under influence of carbon dioxide, lime-based binders carbonate and water silicate-based binders solidify. Together they form calcium silicate hydrates. [1]

4. Michigan Limestone and Chemical Company - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Limestone_and...

   The Michigan Limestone and Chemical Company operated the world's largest limestone quarry (Michigan Limestone; a/k/a the "Calcite Quarry"; "Calcite Plant and Mill"; and "Carmeuse Lime and Stone"), which is located near Rogers City in Presque Isle County, Michigan. It was formed and organized in 1910; however, production did not begin until 1912.

5. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

   Calcium oxide (formula: Ca O), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic, alkaline, ...

6. Limestone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limestone

   Limestone is the raw material for production of lime, primarily known for treating soils, purifying water and smelting copper. Lime is an important ingredient used in chemical industries. [ 110 ] Limestone and (to a lesser extent) marble are reactive to acid solutions, making acid rain a significant problem to the preservation of artifacts made ...

7. Whitewash - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash

   Lime wash is pure slaked lime in water. It produces a unique surface glow due to the double refraction of calcite crystals. Limewash and whitewash both cure to become the same material. When whitewash or limewash is initially applied, it has very low opacity, which can lead novices to overthicken the paint. Drying increases opacity and ...

8. Calcite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcite

   Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3).It is a very common mineral, particularly as a component of limestone.Calcite defines hardness 3 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, based on scratch hardness comparison.

9. Dolomite (mineral) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(mineral)

   Where calcite limestone is uncommon or too costly, dolomite is sometimes used in its place as a flux for the smelting of iron and steel. Large quantities of processed dolomite are used in the production of float glass. In horticulture, dolomite and dolomitic limestone are added to soils and soilless potting mixes as a pH buffer and as a ...
