Calcium oxide（Cat No.:M048136）, is a chemical compound also known as quicklime. It is a white, odorless solid with high reactivity. When heated, calcium oxide readily absorbs water to form calcium hydroxide, a process known as slaking. This property makes it useful in applications such as cement production, construction, and agriculture. Calcium oxide is also employed as a desiccant, catalyst, and pH regulator in various industrial processes.
