Manufacturing & Applications of Lime: CaO

Manufacturing & Applications of Lime: CaO 
Lime Cycle
Limestone is extracted from quarries or mines. 
Part of the extracted stone, selected according to its chemical composition and optical granulometry, is calcinated at about 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) 

Manufactured from limestone. (CaCO3
The process by which limestone (calcium carbonate) is converted to quicklime by heating, then to slaked lime by hydration, and naturally reverts to calcium carbonate by carbonation is called the lime cycle.
Manufactured from limestone



  • It is white crystalline material obtained by heating a natural mineral known as limestone. (CaCO3).
  • Naturally, occurring limestone also contains impurities such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) & magnesia (MgO). 
  • Calcium oxide is usually made by the thermal decomposition of materials, such as limestone or seashells, that contain calcium carbonate (CaCO3; mineral calcite) in a lime kiln. 
  • The quicklime is not stable and, when cooled, will spontaneously react with CO2  from the air until, after enough time, it will be completely converted back to calcium carbonate unless slaked with water to set as lime plaster or lime mortar or chunna.
