MANUFACTURE
OF LIME
BASIC PRINCIPLES
1.
Chemical reaction: The reaction
given
below occurs at 900 C.
CaCO3
2.
CaO +
CO2
1. Temperature in kiln:
For each type of limestone, there is a
temperature range of calcination which
gives best burning. At 900C, limestone
liberates CO2 at fairly rapid rate. For
faster rate, temperature should be over
900C. For max. efficiency temp of exhaust
gases should be as low as possible.
2. Size of limestone:
Larger is the size
of limestone larger is the time required for
heat to reach the centre of limestone.
3. Size of fuel: It should be such that it
burns at required rate in calcination zone.
Usually the size of coke may be half the
