Chemical properties of Quick Lime Lumps
Quicklime is also known as burnt lime and is manufactured by
heating crushed and sorted limestone in a rotary or shaft kiln.
Lmestone (CaCO3) is broken down to form quicklime (CaO) and carbon
dioxide (CO2). It is then subjected to calcinations in a kiln where
it is heated to very high temperature, approximately ***0 degrees
Celsius. The high temperatures release carbon dioxide (CO2) from
the stone, turning it into calcium oxide. The process takes
about ****6 hours. When the quicklime comes out of the kiln it is
in lumps, grains and powder form. It is finally packaged for
sale.
However, if it comes into contact with water, it reacts violently
and gives off heat to convert it into slaked lime.
