lime Explanation: Some kinds of Kalk/lime: fetter Kalk - high calcium lime gebrannter K. - anhydrous(burnt,fired)lime,quicklime gelöschter K. - slaked (hydrated)lime hydraulischer K. -hydraulic lime luftgelöschter K. - air-slaked lime ungelöschter K. - quicklime, unslaked lime That's it. I'd say, the technical meaning is the actual meaning. Hope this helps a liitle bit, Michaela Polytechnisches W�rterbuch (Technik-W�rterbuch) dt.-englisch, Ing.Rudolf Walther |
