When lime is added to water in a process called "slaking," calcium oxide is converted to calcium hydroxide, or "slaked lime.".
Burned lime (calcium oxide) is also called quicklime or un slaked lime and is manufactured by roasting crushed lime in a furnace to drive off carbon dioxide.
Although aqueous solutions of slaked lime are alkaline, its solubility in water is so low that the solution would not be a caustic hazard (causing chemical burns) used in a hand warmer.

 THE CONSERVATION GLOSSARY
Lime is calcium carbonate, the main source of which is limestone.
Lime mortar is produced in a process which basically involves, burning the limestone, then adding water to produce a base material to which various aggregates or additives are introduced depending on the end use of the material which can be anything from painting to building.
The principal of lime mortar is that by a process of carbonization, the material reverts to calcium carbonate, which is stable, and depending on what has been added, solid.

 Lime Mortars and Plasters (Conservation at the Getty)
The lime cycle was used as an organizing principle to isolate important issues in lime technology that needed to be addressed in laboratory studies.
For example, the working properties of slaked lime putty and hydrated lime putty vary in plasticity (ease of spreadability and application) but may vary little in the ultimate compressive strength of the mortar when a similar amount of binder and aggregate volume ratio is used.
The Lime Mortars and Plasters project involves a number of lines of research, based upon investigations of what occurs within individual stages of the lime cycle, and aims to increase the knowledge base of architectural conservators regarding the materials and application procedures that might be considered in the treatment of lime-based mortars and plasters.
