Lime manufacturing and lime slaking process:

• Limestone or calcium carbonate (CaCO3) exists as a natural stone throughout the world. Limestone in its natural form is very slow reacting therefore, it has a limited use
• The most significant use of pulverized limestone is in agriculture in a finely ground and dry form or in flue gas desulphurization in slurry form
• The use of lime in carbonate form is beyond the scope of this paper
• We will concentrate on lime as calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide
• In most pollution control applications lime is used as calcium hydroxide
• To manufacture calcium hydroxide the limestone calcium carbonate must be converted to calcium oxide and the calcium oxide then converted to calcium hydroxide
