Quicklime

Admir Masic, an environmental engineer at MIT, has studied ancient Roman concrete for several years. For instance, in 2019, Masic and two colleagues (MIT's Janille Maragh and Harvard's James Weaver) pioneered a new set of tools for analyzing Roman concrete samples from Privernum at multiple length scales—notably, Raman spectroscopy for chemical profiling and multi-detector energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) for phase mapping the material. For this latest study, Masic wanted to take a closer look at strange white mineral chunks known as "lime clasts," which others had largely dismissed as resulting from subpar raw materials or poor mixing. “The idea that the presence of these lime clasts was simply attributed to low quality control always bothered me,” Advertisement It was believed that the Romans combined water with lime to make a highly chemically reactive paste (slaking), but this wouldn't explain the lime clasts. Masic thought they might have used the even more reactive quicklime (possibly in combination with slaked lime), and his suspicion was borne out by the lab's analysis with chemical mapping and multi-scale imaging tools. The clasts were different forms of calcium carbonate, and spectroscopic analysis showed those clasts had formed at extremely high temperatures—aka hot mixing. “The benefits of hot mixing are twofold,” It also seems to impart self-healing capabilities. Per Masic, when cracks begin to form in the concrete, they are more likely to move through the...

I t’s an image that will go down in sporting history – or at least linger in many memories. The ripped shirt was not intentional. It tore during the 80th minute of the Champions League final in Istanbul last Saturday, following an altercation with Inter Milan’s Robin Gosens. Stones’ Puma Ultraweave shirt was obviously not up to the strain. But as the camera lingered on his underarm stubble, John Stones reveals a bare flank during the Champions League final.

It helps with friction, helps them move faster and is probably slightly more hygienic,” says According to the research firm and men – have removed body hair from their underarms in the previous 12 months. Women tend to bring the average up, with statistics that have barely changed in the past 50 years. An op-ed in the New York Times in 1974 reported that 98% of US women shaved their armpits and legs. Conservative estimates suggest that figure is largely unchanged.

Calcium oxide, a common chemical compound that appears as a white crystalline solid at room temperature, is easily attainable through the thermal decomposition of limestone. This was how the material, also known as quicklime, was acquired for human use, after ancient peoples burned limestone in a kiln to take advantage of its structural properties. The name Calcium Oxide in Warfare As time progressed, the peaceful use of quicklime remained, but the chemical found a new application that satisfied a different goal. Evidence suggests that armies during late BCE hurled calcium oxide at their enemies. Generally thrown by hand, it didn’t even matter if the vessel carrying the quicklime directly hit its target, since the powdery substance could spread rapidly through the force of the wind. The calcium oxide wasn’t really a form of direct assault, but an advanced smokescreen that would significantly stun the opposing forces. Upon exposure, many soldiers underwent choking and even suffocation, and their eyes were especially susceptible to the forces of calcium oxide. The moisture in the eyes would turn the quicklime into slaked lime upon contact, and the resulting mortar material in the soldiers’ eyes would practically blind them. During the Middle Ages, many took advantage of this weapon, using it against naval forces. Carried by the speed and distance of a catapult, trebuchet, or some other kind of ballista, calcium oxide could easily affect every crewmember of a ship. This was “...

Quicklime What is Quicklime? Quicklime is an alternate name for the chemical compound known as calcium oxide. This compound is represented by the chemical formula CaO and is also known as burnt lime. Under standard conditions for temperature and pressure, quicklime is known to exist as a crystalline solid that is white in colour. It is important to note that quicklime is known to be fairly caustic and alkaline under standard conditions. The term ‘lime’ is usually used to denote chemical compounds that contain the element calcium. Quicklime is known to be quite inexpensive and abundant. It can also be noted that quicklime (along with another one of its derivatives, Table of Contents • • • • • • Preparation of Quicklime Quicklime is a calcium oxide formed to release carbon dioxide by calcinating calcium carbonate (limestone). Quicklime is also referred to as handpicked lime, burnt lime, lump lime, calcining lime, and caustic lime. It is known to be a caustic material that is prepared at approximately 900 degrees Celsius by burning calcium carbonate limestone, carbon dioxide is forced off at this high temperature, and the limestone is converted to Quicklime. It is a whitish, odourless alkaline substance with the chemical formula CaO. It can be noted that this compound does not dissolve well in water. As a lining material, it can be used. The main usage is in various industrial processes such as metal smelting, paper bleaching, and sugar sulphur neutralisation, among many ...

Did You Know? Quicklime was used in the infamous Holocaust. The Nazis would place a thick layer of quicklime on the floor of the cattle cars before loading the Jews. This would burn the skin of the victims on contact. Quicklime, also known as burnt lime, is a chemical compound called Calcium oxide (CaO). It is a white or pale gray, odorless, crystalline solid or granular powder having a melting point of 2572 °C and a boiling point of 2850 °C. This compound is widely used in the industrial sector for a variety of purposes. How is Quicklime Made? Quicklime is made by means of a thermal decomposition reaction. A thermal decomposition reaction is the one in which a substance breaks down into simple substances, and a single reactant produces two or more products along with the emission of heat. Here, the reactant which is used is limestone (calcium carbonate), whereas the products that are formed are calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for this reaction is given below: Property : Calcium oxide reacts with carbon dioxide to generate calcium carbonate. Use: Making Mortar ☞ Calcium oxide is an essential compound to manufacture cement and mortar. It is mixed with water and sand to form a stiff paste called mortar. This mortar is used for cementing bricks/stones while constructing buildings. As the mortar solidifies, it becomes hard enough to secure the bricks/stones. Calcium oxide, in its direct form, reacts slowly with carbon dioxide. Therefore, to accelerate t...

A calcium-rich lime clast (in red), which is responsible for the unique self-healing properties in this ancient material, is clearly visible in the lower region of the image. The ancient Romans were masters of engineering, constructing vast networks of roads, aqueducts, ports, and massive buildings, whose remains have survived for two millennia. Many of these structures were built with concrete: Rome’s famed Pantheon, which has the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome and was dedicated in 128 C.E., is still intact, and some ancient Roman aqueducts still deliver water to Rome today. Meanwhile, many modern concrete structures have crumbled after a few decades. Researchers have spent decades trying to figure out the secret of this ultradurable ancient construction material, particularly in structures that endured especially harsh conditions, such as docks, sewers, and seawalls, or those constructed...

Quicklime is one of many reagents offered by Mintek Resources. Quicklime, also referred to as lime (calcium oxide (CaO)), is derived from high quality, natural deposits of limestone (calcium carbonate (CaCO 3)) or dolomitic limestone (calcium magnesium carbonate (CaCO 3 + MgCO 3). Quicklime is produced by heating the stone to almost 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Throughout the process, quality control measures and precise instrumentation are utilized to ensure the quicklime produced is a consistent, high-quality product. Quicklime is a widely used chemical compound used in a variety of markets that surround our everyday life such as construction, environmental, oil and gas and industrial processes. In the construction market, quicklime is highly effective at reducing soil plasticity index, reducing the shrink/swell potential and resisting potentially harmful freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles. In environmental applications, quicklime will adjust the pH of waste streams, reducing heavy metals solubility. In the industrial markets, quicklime makes the air we breathe cleaner, removes impurities in steelmaking processes, and makes the water we drink safer. Quicklime can help repair and even prevent landslide in the oil and gas industry by drying overly wet soils and modifying soils to provide greater internal friction helping to increase construction and overall productivity.
