1. Various classes of calcium oxide alone or in combinations with magnesium oxide, containing impurities such as silica, iron, aluminum oxide, etc. This lime is industrially produced by obtained by calcining forms of calcium carbonate (as shells or limestone), with the final product a white caustic lumpy powder which is used as an industrial alkali, construction materials (such as plasticizers for mortar or plaster), etc. Also known as quicklime or unslaked lime 2. Quicklime to which sufficient water has been added as to convert the oxides to hydroxides, primarily to calcium hydroxide, a white crystalline strong alkali, Ca(OH)2, that is used especially to make mortar and plaster and to soften water
A rock powder consisting primarily of calcium carbonate that is used to raise the pH (that is, to decrease the acidity) of acid soils; not recommended for already alkaline soils like those found in the front range.
Ground limestone that is used to raise soil pH.
A white substance, calcium oxide CaO, obtained by the action of heat on limestone or other material containing calcium carbonate. It is used in making mortar or cement and in neutralizing acid soil when mixed with water.
A compound containing carbonates, oxides and/or hydroxides or calcium and/or magnesium used to neutralize soil acidity.
The most commonly used alkali to stabilise water before distribution. Three forms are available: limestone (CaCO3), quicklime (CaO) and hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2). Hydrated lime is the most commonly used form for stabilisation.
Any mineral containing CaO, also generic name for CaO.
When calcium carbonate is finely ground it is called lime. Ground lime is readily dissolved into the soil where it reduces soil acidity by releasing calcium cations. See also liming.
A calcimined chemical material with the formula CaO. Lime is used in lime softening and in lime-soda ash drinking water treatment. It is not used in pool or spa water treatment.
Calcium oxide (CaO). Present in many clays as calcite. Also a major constituent of plant and wood ashes (in some cases, 40% or more), in which form it was added to glazes.
a caustic substance produced by heating limestone
a white crystalline oxide used in the production of calcium hydroxide
Common water treatment chemical. Lime can be deposed on walls of showers and bathrooms, after lime has reacted with calcium to form limestone.
Crushed limestone (predominantly calcium carbonate) or caustic alkaline earth made by heating limestone. Used to reduce soil acidity.
used in the form of DOLOMITE or HYDRATED LIME to raise and stabilize soil pH.
is a general term for the various forms of calcium oxide and/or hydroxide with lesser amounts of magnesium oxide and/or hydroxide. It is sometimes used incorrectly to refer to limestone.
The term generally used to describe ground limestone (calcium carbonate), hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide), or burned lime (calcium oxide).
the root meaning of the word is a sticky substance and from that it has developed several later meanings. In this context, the word lime includes all of the oxides and hydroxides of calcium and magnesium, but excludes the carbonates. Thus quicklime and slaked lime we would call lime, but chalk and limestone we would not call lime.
The common name for calcium oxide (CaO); hydrated lime is calcium hydroxide Ca(OH).
Common name for calcium carbonate as it is found in the ground. When heated in a kiln, it yields "burnt" or "quick" lime (calcium oxide). When lime is hydrated or "slacked" it becomes calcium hydroxide
A calcium based material used to raise the pH of acidic soils. Refers mainly to calcium carbonate.
an oxide of calcium used in glassmaking to reduce solubility. IGCB
Also known as "lime", calcium hydroxide is a chemical compound (Ca(OH)2) formed as a byproduct of cement hydration. MetaMax® reacts with calcium hydroxide to create additional cementitious bonds within concrete.
a generic term used to describe neutralizing minerals or chemicals such as limestone, quick lime or hydrated lime.
A white or grayish mineral compound used to combat soil acidity and supply calcium for plant growth.
Specifically, calcium oxide, also, loosely, a general term for the various chemical and physical forms of quicklime, hydrated lime and hydraulic hydrated lime.
Calcium oxide (CaO) and/or a variety of acid neutralizing materials containing Ca, Mg, or both Ca and Mg.
A naturally occurring calcareous material used to raise the pH of an acidic soil and/or supply calcium for plant growth. It is effective for treating acidic soils.
Calcium carbonate, an additive that is used to reduce the acidity of soil.

A white or gray substance, also often known as quicklime. It is obtained by burning limestone or shells to drive of the carbon dioxide. It becomes very hot when mixed with water, creating 'slaked lime'.
specifically calcium oxide, but more generally any of the chemical forms of quicklime, hydrated lime, and hydraulic lime. Lime is commonly used as a chemical precipitant in wastewater treatment. a
Soil amendment used to reduce acidity. Lime (calcium carbonate) is applied in powdered or pelletized form.
Materials containing calcium and magnesium used to neutralize soil acidity and to supply calcium and magnesium as plant nutrients. Lime materials include limestone, shell, marl, slag and gypsum.
Calcium oxide, produce by heating limestone (calcium carbonate).
A caustic, highly infusible solid, white when pure, chemically CaO2, obtained by calcining limestone shells or other forms of calcium carbonate; called also quicklime, burnt lime, caustic lime; quicklime develops great heat when treated with water; forming slacked lime.
The main formulation used for turf situations is chalk, i.e. calcium carbonate. It is used to raise soil acidity, but has to be applied with caution as it encourages weeds, coarse grasses, earthworms and disease incidence.
Compounds of calcium used to correct the acidity of soils.
The gray or white mineral form of calcium oxide, used as a cementing compound.
A calcined chemical material, calcium oxide (CaO).
Lime is a general term for various naturally occurring minerals and materials derived from them, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of calcium predominate.
