Which code does this activity belong in?
Lime manufacturing establishments process calcitic limestone, dolomitic limestone, coral, chalk, shells, and similar calcareous materials into lime products. These establishments may source raw materials through mining, quarrying, or collection, or they may purchase prepared materials for processing. The boundary with gypsum product manufacturing lies in the raw material: lime manufacturers work with calcium carbonate-based sources, while gypsum product manufacturers work with gypsum-based materials.
