The process is called calcination or lime-burning. This mined from the Wikipedia article on calcium oxide. A link is provided.

What is the process of turning carbon dioxide into chalk and limestone called?
burial and rock formation
How is quick lime made?
Limestone, calcium carbonate, is heated until it glows. It will give off carbon dioxide and change into calcium oxide. Calcium oxide is called quicklime because it hisses and swells up when a drop of water is added to it, just as if it was alive. "Quick" used to be used to indicate that something was living, so in this case it would be alive-lime, or quicklime.
Why are decomposition reactions also called analysis reactions?
When you are analyzing something you are breaking it down into smaller pieces. You record everything that was produced. In other situations, you do not record. When the leaves on the tree outside my window fall to the ground, fungus and bacteria immediately go to work breaking them into small pieces. They are decomposing the leaves. Are the fungus and bacteria analyzing the leaves? When I am heating limestone to produce quicklime and carbon dioxide, I am decomposing the limestone. I will sell the quicklime. I will not analyze anything.
When igneous rocks are broken into smaller pieces What is this process called?
Weathering.
How does water in the spaces of a limestone cause physical weathering of the limestone?
Water in the spaces of limestone can cause physical weathering through a process called freeze-thaw. When water seeps into the cracks and pores of the limestone, it freezes and expands upon freezing, exerting pressure on the surrounding rock. This expansion and contraction cycle weakens the limestone, causing it to crack and break apart over time.
What is burnt ground limestone?
Slaked lime also called quicklime or simply lime.
Is limestone used when cooking dry corn?
Limestone itself is not used in any sort of cooking, but quicklime is, and quicklime is made from superheated limestone. By soaking dry maize kernels in the caustic, alkaline quicklime, the outer shell would dissolve, creating hominy. This process is called nixtamalization. The hominy could then be pounded into flour, making masa, used for tortillas. Nixtamalization can be accomplished with many alkaline materials. Lye, which is derived from wood ashes, is used to make modern hominy.
How Is Iron Ore Purified using Carbon?
Iron ore, carbon (also called 'coke') and limestone are heated in a blast furnace. The carbon reacts with oxygen blasted into the furnace from the bottom to form carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide then reduces the the iron ore to molten iron and becomes carbon dioxide in the process. The limestone in the furnace melts the impurities and decomposes to calcium oxide (quicklime). Quicklime and impurities mix together to form 'slag'. The slag floats on top of the molten iron so that the iron can be drained off at the bottom.
What is the full cycle of limestone?
The limstone cycle: 1. Limstone (CaCO3) - Heat limestone to produce quicklime 2. Quicklime (CaO) - Add a few drops of water to produce slaked lime 3. Slake lime (Ca(OH)2(s)) - Add excess water to produce Limewater 4. Limewater (Ca(OH)3(aq) ) - Bubble CO2 gas into limewater to produce limestone This is called a cycle because it happens again and again...
