For use in building work, whitewash etc, you'll use limestone (CaCO3) that has had all its water removed, and then ground to a fine powder. If it has been roasted it will have the CO3 removed as well and be called quicklime, and is highly reactive.

What are the differences between hydrated lime and slaked lime, and how do they compare in terms of their properties and uses?

Hydrated lime and slaked lime are both forms of calcium hydroxide, but they differ in how they are produced. Hydrated lime is made by adding water to quicklime, while slaked lime is made by adding water to lime putty. In terms of properties, hydrated lime is a dry powder that is more stable and easier to handle, while slaked lime is a wet paste that is less stable and can harden over time. Hydrated lime is commonly used in construction, agriculture, and water treatment, while slaked lime is often used in traditional building materials and as a chemical reagent. Overall, hydrated lime is more versatile and widely used compared to slaked lime due to its easier handling and broader range of applications.


What building machine is used to heat limestone?

The building machine used to heat limestone is called a lime kiln. Lime kilns are designed to heat limestone (calcium carbonate) to high temperatures, typically around 900 to 1,200 degrees Celsius, to drive off carbon dioxide and produce quicklime (calcium oxide). There are various types of lime kilns, including vertical and horizontal kilns, each optimized for efficiency and production capacity.
