Lime Stabilization
Flocculate and agglomerate clay particles by replacing monovalent cations such as Na+ with Ca++ Cement clay particles together by creating CaCO3 from CaO plus atmospheric CO2 Cement clay particles together by creating a pozzolanic reaction between CaO, SiO2, and Al2O3

A Bit of Chemistry
When limestone (calcium carbonate) is heated above 825C, carbon dioxide is driven off, leaving lime (calcium oxide):
A Bit of Chemistry
The lime is usually mixed with water to form slaked lime (calcium hydroxide)
A Bit of Chemistry
Carbon dioxide in the air can combine with the slaked lime to essentially form new limestone (calcium carbonate)
