Why is limestone so important?

Limestone, quicklime and slaked lime are all used to neutralise excess acidity - which may be caused by acid rain - in lakes and in soils. Limestone is used as a building material, and to purify iron in blast furnaces. It's also used in the manufacture of glass, and of cement (one of the components of concrete). * Limestone (CaCO3) can be used as a '''building material''' and in the manufacturing of '''iron'''. * '''Glass''' - heated with sand and soda (sodium carbonate). * '''Cement''' - heated with clay in a kiln. ** Concrete - mixed with sand, water and crushed rock ** Mortar - mixed with sand and water * '''Quicklime''' - heated. ** Slaked lime (Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2) - mixed with water *** Lime motar - mixed with water
