Uses

 Calcium oxide (CAS NO.1305-78-8) is used in water and sewage treatment to reduce acidity, to harden, as a flocculant and a coagulant, and in bleaching; in agriculture to improve acidic soils; and in pollution control, in gas scrubbers to desulfurize waste gases and to treat many liquid effluents. It is also used in the metallurgical industry as a flux in the manufacture of steel.

Production

 Calcium oxide (CAS NO.1305-78-8) is usually made by the thermal decomposition of materials such as limestone, that contain calcium carbonate  in a lime kiln.
                                 CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

Calcium oxide (CAS NO.1305-78-8) is commonly known as burnt lime, lime or quicklime, which is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic and alkaline crystalline solid at room temperature. As a commercial product, lime often also contains magnesium oxide, silicon oxide and smaller amounts of aluminium oxide and iron oxide. The name lime (native lime) refers to a very rare mineral of the CaO composition.
