Wikipedia
limekiln
A lime kiln is a kiln used for the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate) to produce the form of lime called quicklime (calcium oxide). The chemical equation for this reaction is CaCO3 + heat → CaO + CO2This reaction can take place at anywhere above 840 °C (1544 °F), but is generally considered to occur at 900 °C(1655 °F) (at which temperature the partial pressure of CO2 is 1 atmosphere), but a temperature around 1000 °C (1832 °F) (at which temperature the partial pressure of CO2 is 3.8 atmospheres) is usually used to make the reaction proceed quickly. Excessive temperature is avoided because it produces unreactive, "dead-burned" lime. Slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) can be formed by mixing quicklime with water.

limekiln
A limekiln is a furnace or type of kiln used for the calcination of limestone to produce quicklime. The process involves heating the limestone at high temperatures, usually above 900 degrees Celsius, a process which breaks down the limestone into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This quicklime is then used in various industrial processes including construction, agriculture, and water treatment.
