7	Foreword I. Introduction. I.A. Background. Quicklime results from the calcination of limestone, shell, or equivalent, and consists of calcium oxide in natural association with a lesser amount of magnesium oxide. Hydrated lime is a very finely divided powder resulting from the hydr I.B. History. ANSI/AWWA B202 was first approved as tentative Sept. 9, 1952. It was made standard Sept. 28, 1954. Subsequent revisions to ANSI/AWWA B202 were prepared by the AWWA Standards Committee and were approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct
8	II. Special Issues. II.A. Calcium Oxide. The amount of available calcium oxide (CaO) varies in limes. Many methods are available for evaluating the available CaO in lime. Some give consistently low results, some are rather time-consuming, and some do not give reproducible re
9	II.B. Lime. A lime that slakes at a rate consistent with plant equipment is more economical to use and less difficult to handle. A slaking-rate test to determine the reactivity of lime is included in this standard. This procedure was devised to control th II.C. Magnesium and Insoluble Material. This standard sets no limit on magnesium because keeping the available CaO content within the specified limit should address any excess magnesium problem adequately. No provision is made for high-magnesium lime for
10	II.D. Size and Marking. Sizes of lime are established in the standard to meet the requirements of various types of feed equipment. Alternatively, purchasers may set size requirements to meet specific conditions. A change in size requirements should be mad II.E. Purchase Basis. This standard describes only limes composed mainly of CaO or calcium hydroxide. Special limes, such as dolomitic limes for the removal of silica, are not included. Thus, for the purchase of lime of a different chemical composition, t II.F. Sampling. Production-statistical process control testing is being used increasingly as a substitute for per-load sampling and testing and may be used as an alternative.
