 Lime is a useful chemical with several applications. It is necessary for the manufacturing of a wide range of materials. Lime, also known as calcium oxide (CaO), is made from high-quality natural limestone (calcium carbonate) (CaCO3). Limestone is a sedimentary rock created by the accumulation of shell, coral, algae, and other ocean detritus millions of years ago. When limestone is heated to a high temperature, calcium carbonate is converted to calcium oxide, resulting in lime. LIME Quicklime, calcium oxide, high calcium lime , and dolomitic lime are some of the words used to describe lime. All of these terms refer to the same substance: lime. Dolomitic lime is made up of magnesium oxide (MgO) that is formed from the presence of magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) in the dolomitic limestone. Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate are two types of carbonate found in dolomitic limestone. Calcium carbonate is practically pure in high calcium lime. Lime and lime-based reagents help dry w...
