1. sorry it isn't my expertise 

2. Use caustic soda (sodium hydroxide = NaOH), the two main properties of caustic soda are: Neutralizer of acidic environments pH regulator

3. Keep it sealed-air tight and water tight. Calcium oxide spontaneously reacts with water and air moisture to produce calcium hydroxide.

4. Atmospheric pollution (Sulphur dioxide/oxides of nitrogen) renders water bodies turn acidic in addition to mine polluted water.  This has an impact on amphibian abundance, diversity and reproduction.  Lime addition helps reduce acidity.  But, water and lime result in calcium hydroxide and to avoid this, lime addition should be slow and in small quantities – this prevents splash and damage eyes.  Simultaneously, excessive water may lead to explosion due to vigorous reaction.

5. 1. Dry Storage : 

   2. Air-Tight Containers :
