1. Quicklime

   Calcium oxide (CaO), 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 materials, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminium, and iron predominate. By contrast, quicklime specifically applies to the single chemical compound calcium oxide. Calcium oxide that survives processing without reacting in building products such as cement is called free lime.Quicklime is relatively inexpensive. Both it and the chemical derivative calcium hydroxide (of which quicklime is the base anhydride) are important commodity chemicals.

1. quicklime

   Quicklime, also known as calcium oxide or burnt lime, is a white, caustic, crystalline solid commonly used in building materials and industrial applications. It is produced by heating limestone, which predominantly contains calcium carbonate, in a kiln to drive off carbon dioxide. Quicklime reacts vigorously with water, releasing heat in an exothermic reaction to form calcium hydroxide or slaked lime.
