Lime kiln

A lime kiln is a specialized oven used in the construction and industrial sectors to produce lime (calcium oxide) by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) at high temperatures. The kiln heats the limestone, causing it to undergo a chemical change called calcination, which releases carbon dioxide gas and leaves behind lime. This process typically occurs in a rotary or shaft kiln and is essential for making materials used in building, agriculture, and manufacturing industries. The kiln operates continuously or batch-wise, with precise temperature control to ensure efficient conversion and consistent product quality.
