Description
In the phase of the idea of compiling the investment plan of the factory for the production of lime, various tests were carried out in order to determine the properties of the raw limestone, from these results the adequate type of technology for the industrial production of lime will be determined, with the main aim that the production of quicklime and hydrated lime is in accordance with the EN 459 standard and also the adequate type of technology for the industrial production of lime will be determined, and these aspects have been ascertained by the tests carried out. From the results of the tests, we have come to the conclusion that the physical, mechanical and mineralogical properties of the raw limestone ensure quality production of lime, as well as the suitable technology is the double-shaft vertical kiln. In the testing phase, the types of fuels for burning of limestone were also studied and it was found that the use of petrol-coke is adequate and has no impact on the quality of the final product, and the same has been determined for use by setting the optional technology for other fuels as well possible for use. The initial and ongoing tests have shown that from the limestone available and the established technology, lime can be produced for various applications and industries. The factory for the production of lime New Kosova Lime is already in the last stage of finalization, and it is expected to be put into operation soon.
Keywords:
Limestone, lime as a final product, industrial production, physical, chemical and mineralogical properties, types of limestone as a final product.
