Leontakianakos and I. Baziotis and V.N. Stathopoulos and S. Tsimas", year = "2014", pages = "2", publisher = "National Technical University of Athens", booktitle = "6th Panhellenic Congress on Ceramics", keywords = "Lime, slaking, case study, water treatment", abstract = "Two samples were collected from different quarries from Greece; one sample is characterized as calcitic limestone and the other as dolomitic limestone. The samples were calcined at 1050 0C. We investigated the effective role of the water anions on the reactivity and slaking rate on the basis of laboratory-produced quicklime. The ultimate scope of the present work is to place constraints on the brackish-water treatment processes as potential guidelines, marking the cost-benefits of pointless investments." }
