    Quick Lime is lime obtained from calcining pure limestone that is amorphous and highly caustic. Hydraulic Lime contains small amounts of silica, alumina and iron oxide combined with calcium oxide allowing it to set under water. Fat Lime, also called Rich Lime, is high in calcium oxide at 95% and sets hard when exposed to carbon dioxide from the air, being perfectly white and highly plastic. Poor Lime, also known as Lean Lime, contains over 30% impurities like silica, alumina and iron oxide from clay.

    Question-2

    Define: Quick Lime, Hydraulic Lime, Fat Lime, Poor Lime, And Hydrated
    Lime. [NPCBL’19]
    Quick Lime:
    It is the lime obtained after the calcinations of pure limestone. It is amorphous and
    highly caustic having no affinity for carbonic acid.
    Hydraulic Lime:
    It is the lime which has small quantities of silica, alumina and iron oxide, which
    are in chemical combination with calcium oxide.
    Fat Lime/Rich Lime:
    It is the lime which has high calcium oxide (about 95%) content and can set and
    become hard only in the presence of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This
    type of lime is perfectly white in color. It has high plasticity.
    Poor Lime/Lean Lime:
    It is the lime which contains more than 30% of clayey impurities in the form of
    silica, alumina and iron oxide.
