Calcium Hydroxide - Vietnam
Since calcium hydroxide easily combines with water to generate hydrated lime and carbon dioxide to form limestone, it can be found in nature as the mineral portlandite, though it is ainly produced industrially. Because this process is exothermic and generates a lot of heat, care must be given. The homogeneity of the matrix and the degree of crystalline mass cohesion and crystallization varies between calcium oxides.
