Reviewed the topic, as usual, appeared to determine the CO2 absorber working, without specifying at what metabolism is what is specified.
Determining such a simple lack of knowledge about the problem.
I talked to a chemist Dr Danuta Grzywaczewska (Participated in the implementation of licensing Faser sold to the U.S. for escape oxygen rebreathing apparatus), Polish production run Ostaryt soda lime. (Talking about the oxygen generating mas it was a piece of industrial spying)
I had the opportunity to talk to many times with Professor Ryszard Klos to modify the production of soda lime Polish. Is the author of the book "Lime Soda in Military Applications"
Also, some of the information from Molecular I have. Some species tolerate lime soda restarting and freezing wet lime. Others do not allow such a procedure.
So I can not say that they have reason to review all types of lime, available in the market.
I'll show you a simple test to assess whether lime is not used or worn.
If you know the basics of chemistry, we can easily determine how much CO2 bound sample.
If we can determine whether the reaction zone deposits came to finish, it we can determine the time of the scrubber live. Of course, for a fixed level of metabolism.

Ca(OH)2 + 2CH3COOH -> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O
CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH -> Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2
