Differences between hydrated lime and quicklime
Hydrated lime and quicklime are both calcium compounds. The chemical formula of quicklime is CaO while chemical formula of hydrated lime is Ca(OH)2. The fact of adding water to the powdered quicklime, putting it in a kiln or oven, and then pulverizing it with water, lead to the reaction of CaO with H2O bringing the new chemical Ca(OH)2.
