How a kiln works
The basics of lime burning
The lime burning process requires enough heat to be transferred to the limestone in order to decompose the calcium and magnesium carbonates. Heat transfer for lime burning can be divided into three main stages;
- Preheating zone - limestone is heated to approximately 800°C by direct contact with gases leaving the calcining zone (i.e. the products of combustion, excess and CO2 given off from the calcination).
- Calcining zone - fuel is burnt in preheated air from the cooling zone and (depending on kiln type) in additional ‘combustion’ air added with fuel. This produces heat at above 900°C and turns limestone into quicklime and CO2.
- Cooling zone - quicklime leaving the calcining zone at 900°C is cooled by direct contact with ‘cooling’ air.
There are a large variety of kiln designs available all over the world. The choice of lime kiln is extremely important for lime producers. The selected kiln must be suitable for burning the selected feedstone and for producing the required quality of quicklime. Generally speaking, it must have sufficiently low capital and operating costs to produce quicklime at a competitive price. Its capacity must also be appropriate for the market requirements.
There aremain types of lime kilns being used – Shaft kilns, Rotary kilns
Rotary Kilns
The traditional/long rotary kiln (see Fig 4 and 5) consists of a rotating cylinder (110 to 140 m long) inclined at an angle of 3 to 4 to the horizontal. Limestone is fed into the upper ‘back end’ and fuel plus combustion air is fired into the lower ‘front end’. Quicklime is then discharged from the kiln into a lime cooler, where it is used to pre-heat the combustion air.
