Abstract: This study examines limestone properties and calcination process to enhance product quality. Limestone burning produces lime (CaO, calcium oxide) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Lime is a substance highly reactive and turns into slaked lime (Ca(OH)2, calcium hydroxide) when exposed to water. Six limestone samples from Tuscan Nappe sedimentary sequence, outcropping in the Monti d’Oltre Serchio area (NW Tuscany, Italy), were selected and calcined at different temperatures (800, 900, 1000 and 1100 °C). The obtained lim… Show more
