Effect of Firing Temperature on Reactivity and Sedimentation Volume of Different Types of Limestones

Article Preview

Abstract:

Limestone as a natural rock tends to have various parameters. Variation in parameters, as well as firing temperature have significant impact on key properties of quicklime. Sedimentation volume and reactivity determine quality of quicklime in building industry. This paper is focused on monitoring the reactivity and sedimentation volume of quicklime prepared from various types of limestone at different temperatures. Selection of limestones with high purity collected from various quarries around the world were characterized by porosity, chemical and petrographic composition. To create quicklime, these samples were fired at 4 different temperatures. Reactivity measurements were made on quicklime with specific particle size. Sedimentation volume of hydrated slurry was determined. Obtained results suggest that there is tendency for slower reactivity and smaller sedimentation volume with increased firing temperature.
