Lime, generally divided into quicklime and slaked lime. Quicklime is made of limestone, instant monument with a stone. Limestone chemical formula CO3 (3 is the foot mark), in the high temperature firing process is decomposed into calcium oxide CaO (a is the foot mark) and carbon dioxide CO2 (2 is the foot mark), calcium oxide that is said to be the daily lime. Quicklime in addition to water H2O (2 is the foot mark), after the reaction, resulting in Ca (OH) (A and 2 is the foot mark), that is, slaked lime.
Lime calcination at high temperature will be broken down into carbon dioxide and quicklime, quicklime will react with water to produce mature lime
An inorganic cementitious material with calcium oxide as the main component. The lime is a product of high content of calcium carbonate, such as limestone, dolomite, chalk, shell, etc., which is calcined from 900 to 1100 DEG C. Lime is the earliest application of cementitious materials. Lime is widely used in civil engineering, and can be used in medicine in china. To this end, the ancient spread of lime as the theme of poetry, ode to the eternal song.
