How is lime mined?

Limestone may be mined in a surface quarry, typically by drilling, blasting, and crushing the shot rock. In some areas, limestone mines are underground. In Florida, some limestone mines are under water- the rock is drilled, shot, and mucked while under water. Limestone may be crushed to aggregate sizes, or finely crushed to a powder state for agricultural limestone, or used a "mine safety dust" to control methane and dust in coal mines. Powdered limestone (calcium carbonate) may be roasted and hydrated to form quicklime (Calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide)
