Because lime is very alkaline, any acidic solution will dissolve it.

Put lemon juice or vinegar on the limescale and allow it to sit there for a few hours. This will help to remove the limescale and make it easier to wipe off.

Why is lime used in gold mining?

Lime is used extensively in the recovery of gold and silver. Ores, either run of mine, milled, autoclaved, or roasted are combined with lime and a cyanide solution. The cyanide dissolves the gold and silver. Lime maintains proper pH in the cyanide solution keeping it in the liquid phase, preventing the formation of hydrogen cyanide gas and its loss into the atmosphere. hari julka
