Burning lime is CO2-intensive | Maerz Ofenbau AG

Even in modern energy-saving kilns such as the Maerz-PFR kilns, approx. 1 t of CO 2 emissions are produced per ton of lime produced. About 20 % of this CO 2 comes from the combustion of the fuel and 80 % from the calcination process itself, in which calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) is broken down into its components quicklime (CaO) and CO 2 .

Pre-industrial Lime Kilns

This IHA provides an introduction to 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.
