Quicklime is made from calcium carbonate stones at a kiln using the smelting labor. It can be processed into milk of lime at an ashery, which is further used to create parchment.

The reaction needs 1 calcium carbonate stone and 1 unit of fuel except when using a magma kiln. It also needs an empty bag.

Much like certain other entertaining materials, quicklime does not pose any health hazard to your dwarves, and can't be weaponized for its Fun reaction with water.

Quicklime and Gypsum plaster are both stored under "Boxes and Bags" in furniture stockpiles, which makes them difficult to separate from empty bags. One workaround is to set up a kiln dedicated to producing quicklime and gypsum plaster, and a furniture stockpile set to take only from that kiln. Quicklime and gypsum plaster produced at this kiln will then be accepted only by the aforementioned stockpile, which can in turn serve as a feeder stockpile for a hospital (gypsum plaster) or ashery (quicklime). This approach will not remove existing or traded quicklime or gypsum plaster from circulation among your other "Boxes and Bags" stockpiles.
