Wikipedia

  1. caustic lime

    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. caustic lime

    Caustic lime, also known as quicklime or calcium oxide, is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid substance obtained by heating limestone, shells, or other substances that contain calcium carbonate in a process called lime-burning or calcination. It is used in making cement, glass, and other industrial products, and as a chemical reagent. When mixed with water, it generates a significant amount of heat and forms calcium hydroxide, commonly known as lime or slaked lime.
