Preparation of E529 (Calcium oxide)
E529 (Calcium oxide) can be produced by thermal decomposition of materials like limestone or seashells that contain calcium carbonate (CaCO3, mineral calcite) in a lime kiln.
The process that is used to prepare burnt lime is known as calcination.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is a process that starts with thermally decomposing the reactants at high temperatures but ensuring that the temperature is kept well below the melting point.
Calcium carbonate undergoes calcination at temperatures ranging between 1070oC-1270oC.
These reactions are usually held in a rotary kiln.
The products formed as a result of the reaction are burnt lime and carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide that is formed is immediately removed so that the reaction is preceded until the completion of the process in accordance with Le-Chatelier’s principle.
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
This reaction is reversible and exothermic in nature in the forward direction.
Structure of CaO Molecules
E529 (Calcium oxide) molecules contain one calcium cation (which holds a charge of +2) and one oxygen anion (which holds a charge of -2).
The structure of E529 (Calcium oxide) is illustrated below.
Thus, it can be understood that E529 (Calcium oxide) is an ionic compound featuring an ionic bond between calcium and oxygen.
Lime Water Formula
The formula for lime water is Ca(OH)2 and the chemical name for lime water is calcium hydroxide.
When water is added to lime calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 is formed according to the following reaction.
CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2
This reaction is strongly exothermic and takes place vigorously with the formation of clouds of steam.
What is the Difference Between Quicklime and Lime Water?

Uses of E529 (Calcium oxide)
E529 (Calcium oxide) is extensively used for medicinal purposes and insecticides.
E529 (Calcium oxide) finds its application in the manufacturing of cement, paper, and high-grade steel.
Lime is used as a reagent in laboratories for dehydration, precipitation reaction, etc.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is the cheapest alkali available which is an important ingredient in the manufacturing of caustic soda.
Calcium is essential to animal life as the constituent of bones, shells, and teeth.
The most common of the calcium compounds are calcium carbonate which the potter uses as a source of E529 (Calcium oxide) for glazes.
E529 (Calcium oxide) (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid at room temperature.
The broadly used term "lime" connotes calcium-containing inorganic materials, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminium, and iron predominate.
By contrast, quicklime specifically applies to the single chemical compound E529 (Calcium oxide).
E529 (Calcium oxide) that survives processing without reacting in building products such as cement is called free lime.
Quicklime is relatively inexpensive.
Both it and a chemical derivative (calcium hydroxide, of which quicklime is the base anhydride) are important commodity chemicals.
Preparation
E529 (Calcium oxide) is usually made by the thermal decomposition of materials, such as limestone or seashells, that contain calcium carbonate (CaCO3, mineral calcite) in a lime kiln.
This is accomplished by heating the material to above 825 °C (1,517 °F), a process called calcination or lime-burning, to liberate a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2), leaving quicklime.
This is also one of the few chemical reactions known in prehistoric times.
CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
The quicklime is not stable and, when cooled, will spontaneously react with CO2 from the air until, after enough time, it will be completely converted back to calcium carbonate unless slaked with water to set as lime plaster or lime mortar.
Annual worldwide production of quicklime is around 283 million tonnes.
China is by far the world's largest producer, with a total of around 170 million tonnes per year.
The United States is the next largest, with around 20 million tonnes per year.
Approximately 1.8 t of limestone is required per 1.0 t of quicklime.
Quicklime has a high affinity for water and is a more efficient desiccant than silica gel.
The reaction of quicklime with water is associated with an increase in volume by a factor of at least 2.5.
Uses:
The major use of quicklime is in the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process.
Its usage varies from about 30 to 50 kilograms (65–110 lb) per ton of steel.
The quicklime neutralizes the acidic oxides, SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3, to produce a basic molten slag.
Ground quicklime is used in the production of aerated concrete blocks, with densities of ca. 0.6–1.0 g/cm3 (9.8–16.4 g/cu in).
Quicklime and hydrated lime can considerably increase the load carrying capacity of clay-containing soils.
They do this by reacting with finely divided silica and alumina to produce calcium silicates and aluminates, which possess cementing properties.
Small quantities of quicklime are used in other processes, e.g., the production of glass, calcium aluminate cement, and organic chemicals.
Heat: Quicklime releases thermal energy by the formation of the hydrate, calcium hydroxide, by the following equation:
CaO (s) + H2O (l) ⇌ Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr = −63.7 kJ/mol of CaO)
As it hydrates, an exothermic reaction results and the solid puffs up.
The hydrate can be reconverted to quicklime by removing the water by heating it to redness to reverse the hydration reaction.
One litre of water combines with approximately 3.1 kilograms (6.8 lb) of quicklime to give calcium hydroxide plus 3.54 MJ of energy.
This process can be used to provide a convenient portable source of heat, as for on-the-spot food warming in a self-heating can, cooking, and heating water without open flames.
Several companies sell cooking kits using this heating method.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is known as a food additive to the FAO as an acidity regulator, a flour treatment agent and as a leavener.
E529 (Calcium oxide) has E number E529.
Light: When quicklime is heated to 2,400 °C (4,350 °F), it emits an intense glow.
This form of illumination is known as a limelight, and was used broadly in theatrical productions before the invention of electric lighting.
Cement: E529 (Calcium oxide) is a key ingredient for the process of making cement.
As a cheap and widely available alkali. About 50% of the total quicklime production is converted to calcium hydroxide before use.
Both quick- and hydrated lime are used in the treatment of drinking water.
Petroleum industry: Water detection pastes contain a mix of E529 (Calcium oxide) and phenolphthalein.
Should this paste come into contact with water in a fuel storage tank, the CaO reacts with the water to form calcium hydroxide.
Calcium hydroxide has a high enough pH to turn the phenolphthalein a vivid purplish-pink color, thus indicating the presence of water.
Paper: E529 (Calcium oxide) is used to regenerate sodium hydroxide from sodium carbonate in the chemical recovery at Kraft pulp mills.
Plaster: There is archeological evidence that Pre-Pottery Neolithic B humans used limestone-based plaster for flooring and other uses.
Such Lime-ash floor remained in use until the late nineteenth century.
Chemical or power production: Solid sprays or slurries of E529 (Calcium oxide) can be used to remove sulfur dioxide from exhaust streams in a process called flue-gas desulfurization.
Mining: Compressed lime cartridges exploit the exothermic properties of quicklime to break rock.
A shot hole is drilled into the rock in the usual way and a sealed cartridge of quicklime is placed within and tamped.
A quantity of water is then injected into the cartridge and the resulting release of steam, together with the greater volume of the residual hydrated solid, breaks the rock apart.
The method does not work if the rock is particularly hard.
Disposal of corpses: Historically, it was mistakenly believed that quicklime was efficacious in accelerating the decomposition of corpses.
The application of quicklime can, in fact, promote preservation.
Quicklime can aid in eradicating the stench of decomposition, which may have led people to the erroneous conclusion.
Weapon
In 80 BC, the Roman general Sertorius deployed choking clouds of caustic lime powder to defeat the Characitani of Hispania, who had taken refuge in inaccessible caves.
A similar dust was used in China to quell an armed peasant revolt in 178 AD, when lime chariots equipped with bellows blew limestone powder into the crowds.
Quicklime is also thought to have been a component of Greek fire.
Upon contact with water, quicklime would increase its temperature above 150 °C (302 °F) and ignite the fuel.
David Hume, in his History of England, recounts that early in the reign of Henry III, the English Navy destroyed an invading French fleet by blinding the enemy fleet with quicklime.
Quicklime may have been used in medieval naval warfare – up to the use of "lime-mortars" to throw it at the enemy ships.
Substitutes
Limestone is a substitute for lime in many applications, which include agriculture, fluxing, and sulfur removal.
Limestone, which contains less reactive material, is slower to react and may have other disadvantages compared with lime, depending on the application, however, limestone is considerably less expensive than lime.
Calcined gypsum is an alternative material in industrial plasters and mortars.
Cement, cement kiln dust, fly ash, and lime kiln dust are potential substitutes for some construction uses of lime.
Magnesium hydroxide is a substitute for lime in pH control, and magnesium oxide is a substitute for dolomitic lime as a flux in steelmaking.

E529 (Calcium oxide) (CaO, CAS Reg. No. 1305-78-8) is also known as lime, quick lime, burnt lime, or calx. Lime does not occur naturally since it reacts so readily with water (to form hydrated lime) and carbon dioxide (to form limestone).
E529 (Calcium oxide) is produced from calcium carbonate, limestone, or oyster shells by calcination at temperatures of 1,700-2,450℃.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is a solid with a very high affinity for water - it will react with water in the air, or in your skin or anywhere it can and form calcium hydroxide.
This reaction is exothermic so it releases a lot of heat while it is reacting - there fore as well as being corrosive and causing significant skin irritation, E529 (Calcium oxide)'s reaction with water can also cause burns. Calcium hydroxide is basically hydrated E529 (Calcium oxide).
E529 (Calcium oxide) is alkali so can be corrosive.
In solution it makes limewater.
CaO is not found pure in nature but rather is contained in various abundant minerals (i.e. calcite, aragonite, limestone, marble) but vary greatly in their purity (impurities usually include magnesia, iron, alumina, silica, sulfur).
Of these iron and sulfur are most troublesome (i.e. where clarity is important in glass).
Lime minerals vary in the degree of crystallization and cohesion of the crystalline mass and the homogeneity of the matrix.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is the principle flux in medium and high temperature glazes, beginning its action (within the glaze) around 1100C.
E529 (Calcium oxide) must be used with care in high-fire bodies because its active fluxing action can produce a body that is too volatile (melting if slightly overfired).
Lime, or E529 (Calcium oxide), is a principle ingredient in the production of Portland cement, the basis for most mortars and concrete. Hydrated or ‘slaked’ lime is the chemical calcium hydroxide.
This chemical is also used in mortars.
Both types of lime are strong bases and are also used in food production (calcium hydroxide is commonly used in making corn tortillas), petroleum refining and sewage treatment.
In the household it is used by aquarium hobbyists to add bioavailable calcium to fish tanks.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is also found in hair relaxers.
Chemical Properties
E529 (Calcium oxide), CaO, occurs as white or grayish-white lumps or granular powder.

Physical properties
E529 (Calcium oxide) is a white caustic crystalline alkali substance that goes by the common name lime.
The term lime is used both generically for several calcium compounds and with adjectives to qualify different forms of lime. This entry equates lime, also called quicklime or burnt lime, with the compound E529 (Calcium oxide).
Hydrated lime, made by combining lime with water, is calcium hydroxide and is often referred to as slaked lime (Ca(OH)2). Dolomite limes contain magnesium as well as calcium.
Limestone is the compound calcium carbonate.
The term lime comes from the Old English word for a sticky substance and denotes lime’s traditional use to produce mortar.
Calx was the Latin word for lime and was used to name the element calcium.

The E529 (Calcium oxide) is also used in remediation of mine wastes to recover cyanides and to neutralize acid mine drainage.
In bricks, plaster, mortar, stucco and other building and construction materials, manufacture of steel, aluminum, magnesium, and flotation of non-ferrous ores, manufacture of glass, paper, Na2CO3 (Solvay process), Ca salts and many other industrial chemicals; dehairing hides, clarification of cane and beet sugar juices, in fungicides, insecticides, drilling fluids, lubricants; water and sewage treatment, in laboratory to absorb CO2 (the combination with NaOH is known as soda-lime, q.v.).
E529 (Calcium oxide) is a general food additive consisting of white granules or powder of poor water solubility. it is obtained by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) in a furnace.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is also termed lime or quicklime.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is used as an anticaking agent, firming agent, and nutritive supple- ment in applications such as grain products and soft candy.
Agricultural Uses
E529 (Calcium oxide) (CaO) is a white powder with a neutralizing value or calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) of 179%, compared to 100% for calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
For quick results, either E529 (Calcium oxide) or calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] is used.
E529 (Calcium oxide) is also known as lime, unslaked lime, burned lime or quicklime.
Roasting CaCO3 in a furnace makes E529 (Calcium oxide).
A complete mixing of E529 (Calcium oxide) with soil is difficult because it cakes due to absorption of water.
Industrial uses
Lime is the most widely used reagent in the mineral industry for flotation of sulfides and, in some cases, non-sulfide minerals.
The word “lime” is a general term used to describe any kind of calcareous material or finely divided form of limestone and dolomite.
In more strict chemical terms, lime is calcinated limestone known as E529 (Calcium oxide) (CaO), quicklime or unslaked lime.
The slaked or hydrated lime Ca(OH)2 is the form of lime primarily used in mineral flotation.
Production of high-calcium lime is based on calcination of limestone at a temperature of 1100–1300 °C in kilns.
CaCO3+heat--->CaO+CO2 For high-magnesium (dolomitic) limestone, the calcination reaction (at 1000–1200 °C) is CaCO3·MgCO3 (limestone) + heat--->CaOMgO (quicklime-2CO2)
