Thermal Decrepitation and Thermally-Induced Cracking of Limestone Used in Quicklime Production

Thermal Decrepitation and Thermally-Induced Cracking of Limestone Used in Quicklime Production

To produce quicklime, high calcium carbonate rocks, including limestone, are burned in industrial kilns at 1100–1450 °C. As a consequence of the high temperatures, the carbonate rock can break and decrepitate into fine material, causing operational problems and material losses. In the present paper,...
