Abstract: Water-dispersible pellets are provided that includes spent lime particles present from 80 to 99.5 total weight percent. A binder component is also present from 20 to 0.5 total weight percent. The pellets have a mean pellet domain size. The spent lime particles, and the binder component present in a form such that contact with water causes pellet dispersion into more than 100 pieces. A process of forming spent lime pellets is also provided that include spent lime being dewatered to a free-flowing powder. A binder is then added under conditions to induce agglomeration of the free-flowing powder to the form the pellets. A process of treating a target crop is also provided based on such pellets.

Abstract: A method for filling and/or building-up land areas by creating a solid soil base through the deposition of a generally non-reactive composite fill material made by intermixing spent lime and soil such that moisture content of the spent lime is distributed through the material.

Abstract: A composite fill material (22) comprising soil (18) and spent lime (14) and a method for filling depressed land areas (24) therewith. The method for filling land areas (24) includes generating spent lime (14) by adding lime to water (12) in order to precipitate out minerals causing water hardness. The generated spent lime (14) is mixed with soil (18) to form a composite fill material (22) which is subsequently utilized to fill depressed land areas (24) thus creating a solid soil base.
