I think you would you would have to extract the calcium from the milk first then convert it to calcium oxide.

Dont know if you can do it with milk to get calcium oxide, but a electrolyzed mixture of lime and mercuric oxide will form CaO
This process is called limekiln. Look up calcination or lime-burning.
