  2. Calcium carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate

    CaO + H 2 O → Ca(OH) 2 Ca(OH) 2 + CO 2CaCO 3 + H 2 O. In a laboratory, calcium carbonate can easily be crystallized from calcium chloride (CaCl 2), by placing an aqueous solution of CaCl 2 in a desiccator alongside ammonium carbonate [NH 4] 2 CO 3. [10] In the desiccator, ammonium carbonate is exposed to air and decomposes into ammonia ...

  3. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    CaCO 3CaO + CO 2 The reaction is used to make quick lime, which is an industrially important product. Another example of thermal decomposition is 2Pb(NO 3) 2 → 2PbO + O 2 + 4NO 2. Some oxides, especially of weakly electropositive metals decompose when heated to high enough temperature.

  4. Calcination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcination

    Calcination is thermal treatment of a solid chemical compound (e.g. mixed carbonate ores) whereby the compound is raised to high temperature without melting under restricted supply of ambient oxygen (i.e. gaseous O 2 fraction of air), generally for the purpose of removing impurities or volatile substances and/or to incur thermal decomposition.

  5. Lime kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_kiln

    With exhaust gas temperatures as low as 120 °C and lime temperature at kiln outlet in 80 °C range the heat loss of the regenerative kiln is minimal, fuel consumption is as low as 3.6 MJ/kg. Due to these features the regenerative kilns are today mainstream technology under conditions of substantial fuel costs.

  6. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide

    Calcium oxide (formula: Ca O), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound.It is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid at room temperature.

  7. Lime (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(material)

    In the lime industry, limestone is a general term for rocks that contain 80% or more of calcium or magnesium carbonate, including marble, chalk, oolite, and marl.Further classification is done by composition as high calcium, argillaceous (clayey), silicious, conglomerate, magnesian, dolomite, and other limestones.

  8. Standard Gibbs free energy of formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Gibbs_free_energy...

    The standard Gibbs free energy of formation (G f °) of a compound is the change of Gibbs free energy that accompanies the formation of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state from its constituent elements in their standard states (the most stable form of the element at 1 bar of pressure and the specified temperature, usually 298.15 K or 25 °C).

  9. Carbonatation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonatation

    The carbonatation process is used in the production of sugar from sugar beets.It involves the introduction of limewater (milk of lime - calcium hydroxide suspension) and carbon dioxide enriched gas into the "raw juice" (the sugar rich liquid prepared from the diffusion stage of the process) to form calcium carbonate and precipitate impurities that are then removed.
