Calcium carbonate usually - lime is often used (made from limestone) but bone-meal or even ground seashells have also been used.Neutralizingindustrial waste would depend on what type of waste.

How do you neutralise acidic gases?
by neutralising them with basic gasic
Is ash acidic or basic?
wood ash is basic due to the presence of carbonates.
Why farmers add slaked lime to acidic soils?
Calcium Hydroxide (or Slaked Lime) is a strong base (as are all metal hydroxides, oxides, and carbonates) A Base is a substance with a pH of 8 or more. When an acid and a base react, the result is that a salt and water is formed. This also has the effect of neutralising a substance (giving it a pH of 7 or closer to 7) So slaked lime is added in order to reduce the acidity of the soil
Why rain water in industrial areas is acidic?
In industrial areas, acidic gases such as sulfur dioxide is emitted to the atmosphere. When it rains, the gaseous acids dissolve in the raindrops, and such rains are known as acid rains.
What is acid acidic?
acidic acid is the nucleic level found on sodas or cleaning products and do forth. its all acidic but the higher the acidic level is ITS LESS ACIDIC then lower number.
How do you neutralise acidic gases?
by neutralising them with basic gasic
Are common carbonates soluble?
Carbonates are generally not very soluble in water, though their solubility increases considerably if the water is even slightly acidic. The alkali metal carbonates are soluble.
Is ash acidic or basic?
wood ash is basic due to the presence of carbonates.
What happens when you mix methylbenzene and water?
It becomes non acidic because of the change of particles from the base (water) therefore neutralising.
What chemical neutralises acetone?
acetone is an organic NEUTRAL material . It does not require neutralising as it is neither acidic nor basic. If you meant neutralising its solubility of organic chemicals then you may wish o add twice the quantity of water for it to lose its solubilising power.
Calcium carbonates be used to remove acidic gases from power stations?
it sure has something to do with sulphur dioxide
Why can't water neutralize acid?
Neutralising means to cancel out the acidic effect, by adding a base and letting them react to form water and other "harmless" chemicals. Water will only dilute the aicd; it will still be acidic.
What other products have acidic acids?
products that have acidic acids are products such as: gentlemens bits and hats

What is in baking soda that creates a chemical reaction with vinegar?
There is no specific thing. The chemical reaction is a result of the alkaline baking soda and the acidic vinegar neutralising each other.
Is hot sauce acidic?
Hot sauce contains several acidic products.
How does pH enter freshwater?
Water will always have a pH. pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. Intruduction of basic substances such as carbonates will raise pH. Introduction of acidic substances such as carbonic or sulfuric acid will lower pH.
