On it, were the prices of quicklime, q uicksand and quicksilver.

For instance, the limestone used to make quicklime must be very pure.

And the texts said that mixing quicklime with hot ash and then adding water could make a lot of heat.

The researchers suspected the key was something called " hot mixing." It uses dry bits of calcium oxide, a mineral that's also called quicklime.

研究人员怀疑关键在于所谓“热”。它使用干燥氧化钙，一种也称为生矿物质。

Limestone is refined to produce calcium oxide, or quicklime, for cement, in a reaction known as calcination, which releases a lot of carbon in the form of CO2.

被提炼以生产用于水泥氧化钙或生， 在称为煅烧反应中，该反应以 CO2 形式释放大量碳。
