Lime is Calcium Carbonate (usually upto 96% plus other metallic elements) in it's natural form, when you burn it, it becomes calcium oxide, generally speaking for building you then add it to water making calcium hydroxide then it resets back to calcium carbonate... thus the lime cycle.

In what context do you mean 'liming'? In Patois/Creol it means to chill out, in building it is to apply lime either repointing, plastering or limewashing...
