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. Hydraulic lime - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_lime

   This contrasts with calcium hydroxide, also called slaked lime or air lime that is used to make lime mortar, the other common type of lime mortar, which sets by carbonation (re-absorbing carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the air). Hydraulic lime provides a faster initial set and higher compressive strength than air lime, and hydraulic lime will set in ...

5. 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 occurs as a product of coal-seam fires and in altered limestone xenoliths in volcanic ejecta. [1] The International Mineralogical Association recognizes lime as a mineral with the chemical formula of CaO. [2]

6. 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 ...

7. Calcium hydroxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide

   Calcium hydroxide (traditionally called slaked lime) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca 2. It is a colorless crystal or white powder and is produced when quicklime (calcium oxide) is mixed with water. Annually, approximately 125 million tons of calcium hydroxide are produced worldwide. [8]
