Hydrated Lime Manufacturing Process
Lime is manufactured in various kinds of kilns by one of the following reactions: CaCO + heat → CO 2 + CaO (high calcium lime) CaCO 3 + MgCO 3 + heat → 2CO 2 + CaO + MgO (dolomitic lime) The resulting lime is reacted (slaked) with water to form hydrated lime. The basic processes in the production of lime are:
