- Calcium oxide: a white crystalline oxide used in the production of calcium hydroxide
- Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic and alkaline crystalline solid at room temperature.
- Lime, (calcium oxide), produced by heating limestone; on treatment with water it gives slaked lime; To treat with quicklime
- White, caustic alkaline substance consisting of calcium oxide, obtained by heating limestone.
- Also referred to as calcium oxide (CaO), lime, or calx. The physical appearance of CaO is white, caustic, and solid at room temperature. Calcium oxide is simply produced by heating the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at high temperatures (~2000 F), and CO2 is released as byproduct:
- The product of calcination. Quicklime should, more accurately be divided into pure and hydraulic, although it is common for the word to be used to mean pure quicklime on its own.
