Norew,
I'm not sure what you mean. Ca(OH)2 + HCl doesn't increase free lime.
Ca(OH)2 is produced during the reactions of clinker minerals and/or free lime with water, during cement hydration. HCl is a titrimetric reagent used in the determination of CaO + Ca(OH)2 in clinker or cement using the Ethylene Glycol/Ethanol extraction method.
Regards,
Ted.
