Product Description
Lime Calcination Plant is a specialized industrial facility designed to convert limestone (calcium carbonate) into quicklime (calcium oxide) through a high-temperature thermal decomposition process known as calcination. This process is essential across multiple industries, including metallurgy, construction, chemical manufacturing, and environmental applications. In a typical lime calcination plant, raw limestone is fed into a rotary kiln or vertical shaft kiln, where it is heated to temperatures above 900 degrees Celsius. This drives off carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of quicklime, which is then cooled, processed, and stored.
Modern lime calcination plants are engineered for high efficiency, reduced emissions, and consistent product quality. They often feature automated feeding systems, precise temperature controls, and dust-collection units to ensure smooth, eco-friendly operation. The final product, quicklime is used in steel production, water treatment, flue gas desulfurization, and soil stabilization, among other applications. With increasing demand for high-purity lime, advanced calcination technology ensures optimal performance, energy savings, and low environmental impact.
