The EU28 total lime demand in 2017 was estimated at about 20 million tons, out of which
about 40% are consumed in the iron and steel industry. Steel remains the major consumer …

This study aims to achieve an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing process of
natural hydraulic lime (NHL) by assessing the influence of raw materials' chemical …

This paper deals with thermal analyses, burning trials and reactivity tests on 15 carbonate
rocks, ie, pure and impure carbonates, mud-supported and grain-supported limestones …

This study analyzes high-grade carbonate rocks from several strategic deposits in the
Arabian Peninsula and neighboring countries. The rocks are used locally for quicklime and …

Here, the potential of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in grading calcareous
rocks for the lime industry was investigated. In particular, we developed a system equipped …

Quicklime is produced through the thermal processing of limestone in industrial kilns. During
quarry operations, fine particulate quarry dust adheres to limestone lump surfaces …

The dehydration process of limonitic laterite ore consumes a lot of heat, which seriously
affects the sintering performance and increases the solid fuel consumption of sintering. In …

In the present work, the intensity variations of the Raman signal and associated background
intensities of calcareous materials as a function of their grain sizes has been investigated …

The overburning test method was developed to simulate and predict lime densification,
agglomeration, and sporadic melting at the highest potential temperature of lime kilns …

The production of quicklime and cement clinker are energy-intensive processes resulting in
significant CO2 emissions. Fuel switching, electrified heating, and carbon capture have …
