Burning the bones of the earth: lime kilns
When burned at 900 degrees C or more it vents carbon dioxide (CO2), leaving behind the volatile calcium oxide (CaO) – "quicklime," "burnt lime" or "unslaked lime.". Then, when combined with water – hydrated or "slaked" — the quicklime became calcium hydroxide or Ca (OH)2, and could be put to many uses. Confusingly, all of ...

The FEECO Rotary Kiln Handbook
Rotary kilns can be either of the direct-fired type, or the indirect-fired type (sometimes referred to as a calciner). In a direct-fired kiln, a process gas is fed through the drum, processing the material via direct contact. In an indirect-fired kiln, material is processed in an inert environment, and is heated through
Kiln Types
Kilns of this type are usually fed with stone ranging in size from 15mm to 40mm and are fuelled by a range of fuels including coal, petroleum coke, natural gas and waste derived fuels. They are used to produce Dolomitic lime and higher purity quicklime, used for the manufacture of low-carbon steel, fibreglass and healthcare products.

How Lime is Made
The limestone is heated as it moves down the kiln toward the lower end. As the preheated limestone moves through the kiln, it is "calcined" into lime. The lime is discharged from the kiln into a cooler where it is used to preheat the combustion air. Lime can either be sold as is or crushed to make hydrated lime.
11.17 Lime Manufacturing
11.17 Lime Manufacturing 11.17.1 Process Description1-5. Lime is the high-temperature product of the calcination of limestone. Although limestone deposits are found in every state, only a small portion is pure enough for industrial lime manufacturing. To be classified as limestone, the rock must contain at least 50 percent calcium carbonate.

Rotary Lime Kiln Operation
Rotary Lime Kiln Operation. Precipitated calcium carbonate, commonly called lime sludge or lime mud, is produced when sulphate green liquor is causticized with lime. For many years this lime sludge was considered a waste product and was dumped into rivers or waste ponds, or used for fill around the plants.
Pre-industrial Lime Kilns
A lime kiln was a structure used to manufacture lime (calcium oxide) by burning calcium carbonate at temperatures above 900°C. The calcium carbonate burned (or 'calcined') was commonly limestone or chalk, but occasionally other materials such as oyster or egg shells were used. Lime burning appears to have been a new technology introduced ...
