I guess all this means we farmers ain't too welcome at the National Lime
Exposition huh? Did Garrison Kellior play that gig too?
Now I got some more questions. What about Mag lime? An old man here used
to clean wells with "slaked lime," what is that? What makes "quick lime"
quick? Ruth

The Lime Cycle:
1. Limestone = CaCo3 (Calcium carbonate) = Aglime, when crushed to a powder
2. Heat to 1800 degrees for a day or two and you lose the CO2 (carbon
dioxide) and get CaO (calcium oxide, or quicklime)
3. Add some water and you get Ca(OH)2 = calcium hydroxide, hydrated lime

Hi Mike, Thanks, but now I'm really confused. Where do you get hydrated
lime if it isn't ground limestone? I supposed hydrated meant "with water
added" or "sufficient water" or "whatever." Of course I am only familiar
with a "well hydrated patient" meaning "not dehydrated." Does that make
sense? In other words, hydrated having to do with water. Ruth

According to the National Lime Association, "Aglime" is not Calcium
hydroxide (hydrated lime, as used in masonry mortar). It is ground
limestone.
