Absorption of Moisture and Carbon Dioxide from the Atmosphere

8 Absorption of Moisture and Carbon Dioxide from the Atmosphere 

In the context of meeting customer specifications, the most pronounced effect of absorption of water and carbon dioxide is on the reactivity of the lime. Combined water contents greater than 1.0 %, coupled with the associated, but smaller, increases in combined CO2, can have a significant effect on reactivity. Such levels
