LIMESTONE is calcareous sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite (CaCO3), which upon calcination yields lime (CaO) for commercial use. In its broadest interpretation the term includes any calcareous material such as marble, chalk, travertine, tufa, limeshell, coral and marl each possessing different and distinct physical properties. The crystalline equivalents of limestone having the same chemical composition are calcite and aragonite. View More

CALCINED LIME
chemical compound, CaO, a colorless, cubic crystalline or white amorphous substance. It is also called lime, quicklime, or caustic lime, but commercial lime often contains impurities, e.g., silica, iron, alumina, and magnesia View More

HYDRATED LIME
Ca(OH)2, colorless crystal or white powder. It is prepared by reacting calcium oxide calcium oxide, chemical compound, CaO, a colorless, cubic crystalline or white amorphous substance. It is also called lime, quicklime, or caustic lime. View More

Dolomitic Quicklime
Dolomitic Quicklime is lime made from high quality deposits of dolomitic limestone; limestone containing 40% to 44% magnesium carbonate (MgCO3). Dolomitic lime (MgO·CaO) known as dolime is a widely used in chemical compound. View More
