replies: text: I put back the statement and sourced it.  Note the journal article looks at it from the point of view (as do most I found) of how well calcium is absorbed into the body.  Also available is the article at http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/abstract/135/11/2578 for more analysis on it.  Kevin_b_er 02:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Maybe someone could add a link from Kalkwasser in the Misc. section to the German Wikipedia page on Kalkwasser? I'm not sure how to link to pages in other language wikipedias...  Amicianthony (talk) 18:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This mistake is way too obvious to miss. They are not spelt separately. It's 'limewater', not 'lime water'. I have checked with many dictionaries and Oxford Dictionary of Science. It's spelt as 'limewater', not 'lime water'. 'Limewater' refers to calcium hydroxide solution, 'lime water' refers to water made from lime. Please correct this mistake. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.13.7.43 (talk) 07:18, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Seeing how this appears to have been resolved without opposition, I'm removing that ugly dispute tag from the page itself. Niceoboe (talk) 05:35, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is referenced by the article Tortilla - and I am sure by others too - via Nixtamalization.  Arriving here the article begins by stating that "Limewater is the common name ..." but then immediately dives into chemistry.  The reader must go to the article Calcium hydroxide to discover what this historically common product was, in common terms.  However the trail then ends with the statement there that: "Calcium hydroxide is produced commercially by treating lime with water".  Now, bearing in mind that the original object of research was the traditional manufacture of tortillas, both the length of the research trail required to find this basic information and the paucity of its conclusion is frustrating.  What are the available source(s) for lime, those that would have been used for instance in rural Mexico in the 19th century?   How is and was this lime then "treated" to result in limewater?  I find I am left with a heap of chemistry jargon and little else, and this despite all the work that has gone into writing the four artciles concerned.

message: Are there applications for Limewater to remove carbon dioxide in the context of global warming? Or has any experimentation along these lines taken place? If so, should it be mentioned here? 141.6.11.24 (talk) 09:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Hi. I would recommend more reference to the use in tanning.  I have found old native american stone tools including tools for cutting fleshing and tanning skins and have found chunks of high grade limestone apparently used for the purpose. This lime and many of the other stones had to be imported to this area. Fencelizard (talk) 16:10, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
