Question

Hydraulic lime is obtained by-

Fly ash

B.

Burning of kankar

C.

Red stone

D.

Calcination of pure clay

Correct option is B

Hydraulic lime is obtained by the burning of kankar, a type of impure limestone that contains clayey impurities (silica, alumina, etc.). These impurities react with lime during burning to form compounds (like calcium silicates and aluminates) that enable the lime to set under water, giving it hydraulic properties.
