Hydrated Lime Manufacturing Process
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: quarrying raw limestone; preparing limestone for the kilns by crushing and sizing; calcining limestone; processing the lime further by hydrating;
