What is quick lime used for?

Answer 1

Quicklime (Calcium Oxide) is an efficient scavenger of moisture in its dehydrated state. A material that is mostly calcium oxide (CaO) in natural association with a lesser amount of magnesium oxide. Quicklime is capable of combining with water to form hydrated lime.

Answer 2

If limestone is heated strongly, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide is also called quicklime. It is yellow when hot, but white when cold.

Here are the equations for this reaction:

calcium carbonate calcium oxide + carbon dioxide

CaCO3 CaO + CO2

Answer 3

Quicklime, also known as calcium oxide, is commonly used in various industrial applications such as water treatment, construction, and manufacturing. It is used to neutralize acidic soils in agriculture, as a desiccant in drying processes, and in the production of chemicals like calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate. Additionally, quicklime is used in the steel industry for steelmaking and in the production of paper, glass, and sugar.
