It's actually called the Lime Saturation Factor and it is one of three quality control factors used in cement manufacture. It represents the amount of lime (CaO) required to completely react with all of the silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) in a cement kiln to produce the hydraulic minerals required for cement to set properly. It's formula is;-

LSF = (100 * CaO)/(2.8 * SiO2 + 1.18 * Al2O3 + 0.65 * Fe2O3)

The other two factors used to control cement clinker quality are;-

Silica Ratio (S.R.) = SiO2/(Al2O3 + Fe2O3)

and

Alumina Ratio (A.R.) = Al2O3/Fe2O3

You should increase the LSF (lime saturated factor). Normal the LSF is around 95. If you increase the LSF you will proberly get a worse burnability.

What is the difference between quick lime and lime water?

Quicklime is calcium oxide (CaO), a white crystalline solid obtained by heating limestone in a kiln. Lime water, on the other hand, refers to a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in water. Quicklime is a solid, while lime water is a liquid solution.
