title: Dissolution kinetics of quicklime in various organic solvents and solutions.
abstract: The rate of the dissolution of quicklime was measured in different organic solvents and solutions of methanol, ethylene glycol, glycerol and sucrose. It was found that the rate of dissolution in methanol, glycerol and sucrose was dramatically reduced compared with that in deionized water. However, little difference was measured in a solution of ethylene glycol compared with aqueous solutions. The presence of chloride ions increases the rate of dissolution in all solvents and solutions, except for ethylene glycol, where a decrease was actually observed. It was also found that the presence of sulphate ions decreases the rate in all organic solvents and solutions tested.
