1.1 About the Industrial Activity


Lime Kilns
Lime Kiln activity is a significant industrial sector across the country involved in production of
lime, primarily an oxide of calcium, is a basic chemical of great importance. The lime is used in
many industries. It is widely used in building material, glass, agriculture, paper, sugar, leather,
fertilizer, carbide etc. Due to simple technology and its flexible usage in several industries the
limekiln activity is rapidly growing in unorganized sector. There are many types of kilns in
operation from country batch type kilns to the highly sophisticated kilns. The country kilns are
rectangular/ square and vary in size. The lime kilns require large quantities of quality lime
stone and fuel like coal, oil etc,.
The process of lime production involves the heating of limestone above its dissociation
temperature. The process of heating is called calcinations, which is highly endothermic. The
dissociation temperature of CaCO3 (calcite) is about 900O C. During limestone dissociation, the
reaction is facilitated by the continuous removal of CO2 evolved during calcination. The
chemical reaction to produce lime is represented below:
CaCO3 (solid) + heat CaO (solid) + CO2 (gas)

Various limekilns have been used for the specific application. Based on the objective, the
limekiln activity can be classified into intermittent and continuous kilns. In the intermittent
kilns, the limestone is converted into lime and allowing it to cool every time, prior to further
charging. The flare kilns and pot kilns are typical examples intermittent kilns. The intermittent
mixed feed kilns or draw kilns are highly energy intensive and relatively poor quality of lime.
The continuous kilns include vertical shaft kilns, the horizontal kilns, rotary kilns, fluidized bed
calciner and jet or flash calciners. Flow sheet of typical manufacturing process of lime is
depicted in Figure 1.

Hydration of Lime
Quick lime (CaO) when hydrated or slacked with water produces hydrated lime [Ca(OH)2]. The
reaction is strongly exothermic and is associated with evolution of 380 to 490BTU/lb of lime.
The reaction can be represented as:
CaO + H2O
Ca (OH) 2 + heat

Ca (OH)2 + heat
CaO+ H2O vapor

There are many forms of hydrated lime, the main distinguishing feature being the amount of
excess water they contain.

Typical Sizes of Lime Kilns


There are large variations in the types of Lime Kilns setup across the country depending on
geographical locations, type of demand for lime, and end use. Based on the capacity of the kiln
to produce the lime, the limekilns are divided into the following three categories
S. No Capacity
1.
Lime kilns up to 5 MTD capacity
2.
Lime kilns in the range of 5 to 40 MTD capacity
3.
Lime kilns with more than 40 MTD capacity

1.3 Types of Kilns


Various types of kilns have been used suiting to a particular purpose but the main objective
behind all these kilns are classified into intermittent and continuous kilns. In intermittent kilns
the stone is converted into lime and allowed to cool every time prior to further charging. Flare
kilns / pot kilns are typical examples for intermittent kilns. The intermittent / draw kilns are
highly energy intensive and poor quality lime. The continuous lime kilns include vertical shaft
kilns, the horizontal kilns, rotary kilns, fluid bed calciner and jet or flash calciner.
Country Kilns
The country kilns are rectangular/square and vary in size. These kilns called Bhattis vary in
length from 5 to 7 meters, width between 3 to 5 meters and about 3 to 5 meters in height. These
kilns have the door on the breadth side of the kiln. Near the bottom on the longitudinal section,
there are a number of fire holes. The kiln is constructed with cheap materials like clay bricks,
boulders etc. and with mud as mortar. Limestone and fuel are spread in alternative layers and
the firing is started. The firing is carried out over a number of days up to 20days. The lumpy
lime is separated from fines and ashes manually. These kilns are mostly run on natural drafts.
Vertical Shaft Kiln
These kilns are most popular and the stone is charged from the top and the lime is discharged at
the bottom. These kilns are heated by coal/ coke mixed with limestone. Other types of vertical
kilns are those, which are fired with gas or oil. In captive lime plants furnace oil, natural gas,
producer gas, coke oven and blast furnace gases are used as fuels.
The vertical shaft kilns are tall cylindrical kilns of varying design and length / diameter ratios.
These are refractory lined with provisions to discharge the burnt lime at the bottom. In mixed
feed kilns, the discharge doors are provided at the bottom for discharge lime. The air drawn at
the bottom helps to supply pre-heated air to the kiln for the combustion of the coal / coke.
When the fuel is oil or gas, separate burners are located at suitable positions around the
circumference of the kilns to provide heat for the calcinations to take place. Properly designed
kilns have definite zones for pre-heating, calcining and cooling with high thermal efficiencies.
A vertical shaft kiln is divided into pre-heating, burning (Calcination) and cooling zones. In the
pre-heating zone the incoming raw material comes into contact with ascending gases from
burning zone a sufficiently high temperature thereby getting pre-heated before entering
buffering zone. Calcination takes place in burning zone and the cooling zone the calcinated lime
gets cooled by incoming draught facilitating hot air to burning zone for efficient combustion.
The calcinated lime is removed through discharge doors. The air for combustion is drawn
through discharge doors located at the bottom of vertical kiln.
The combustion air is normally pre-heated in the cooling zone is counter current by the sensible
heat present in the lime after calcinations. The quantity of heat introduced with combustion air

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board


Environmental Guidance Manual Lime Kilns

depends on the efficiency of heat recovery in cooling the lime. The ratio of heat requirement of
the burning zone to heat supplied to pre-heating zone depends on CaCO3 content in limestone.
The thermal efficiency of a limekiln is the ratio of total heat supplied by the fuel to that required
to decompose stone completely under ideal condition. The limit of heat consumption is dictated
by the heat of reaction needed for decomposition of CaCO3 into CaO and CO2 i.e. for reaction
enthalpy. The efficiency of kiln depends on
The way in which heat is introduced into the kiln
The efficiency of combustion and the quantity of air in excess of the theoretical requirement
Distribution of heat in the hottest part of the kiln
Utilization of heat available with escaping gases.
The amount of heat left in the lime drawn from cooling zone.
The quantity of heat lost by radiation and in other ways.
Rotary Kilns
The kilns vary in L/D ratio and design. The inclination also varies from 3 to 50 on 4 to 6
foundation piers and resolves on trunnions at each pier. Rotation speed is adjusted with
variable speed drives and operates generally in range of 30 to 50 sec/rev. kilns are lined with 6
to 9 refractory bricks. Limestone is fed into the kiln at the elevated end and discharged at
lower end. The stone moves counter currently to the flow of combustion gases derived from
fuel at the lower end. Solid, gaseous or liquid fuels are generally used. Rotary kilns are ideally
suited to smaller size limestone. This gives best quality product from a given limestone and fuel
consumption.
Fluid Bed Calciner
In this type of calciner the limestone is burnt in a reactor keeping in suspended state. In
fluidization, a mass of finely divided solid is maintained during treatment, in a turbulent dense
state by being dispersed in an upwardly moving gas stream, which imparts to the mass a
turbulence resembling that of boiling liquid. The fluidized bed calciner is a multistage reactor in
which the various stages for drying, pre-heating, calcining and cooling are super imposed into a
single reactor.
In the fluidized bed reactor the feed of 6 mm and finer is fed to the top of the kiln and
continuous counter flow of pre-heated air keeps the incoming feed in fluid suspension. The
high turbulence is fluidized bed causes thorough mixing resulting in rapid heat transfer from
combustion gases to solids. Due to uniform temperature and due to proper combustion, lime of
superior quality and reactivity is obtained. Lime is of soft burned variety and virtually coreless.
The multistage fluid bed reactor is characterized by thermal efficiencies.

Environmental Guidance Manual Lime Kilns

Calcimatic Kiln
This is a rotary calciner and consists of horizontal rotating annular platform much like turn
table of a merry-go-round. Limestone is fed on to the moving platform through an unknown
number of zones formed by radial baffles extending downwards almost to the top of the bed.
Due to adjustable speed of hearth (35 to 200 minutes/revolution) it is possible to control
calcinations of limestone of varying sizes and produce soft burned to hard burned lime. It is
reported that the total product cost in the calcimatic kiln is less than rotary and fluo-solid type
kilns. The kiln is claimed to produce 100 -125 tonnes/day with a fuel consumption of 5 million
BTU/tone of lime.
Ellerman Kiln
The ellerman kiln has advantage of lowest capital investment as compared to any modern kiln
for a given capacity. The kiln consists of a rectangular calcining chamber with horizontal tunnel
beams. Heat is generated in a separate adjacent fire box with oil or gas and it enters the kiln
with the combustion gases and the flame raising under induced draft.
Hoffman Kiln
The Hoffman kiln or ring kiln is of German origin. I is essentially a horizontal process
consisting of an annular tunnel (circular, elliptical or rectangular) in which the hot gases from
direct firing of the fuel travels slowly horizontally through the tunnel pre-heating and calcining
the charge. The kiln has thermal efficiency of 45 to 55% and was once considered to be a good
kiln. The kiln involved too much of manual labor and lost its popularity. The fines from
screening, crushing plants, bag house dust etc., are fed to suspension pre-heater which consists
of 2 or 3 stages of cyclones in which heat of rising ho gases is transferred to the counter flowing
fine material. The gas and materials are separated at each cyclone. After final heat exchange
stage, the material is fed into flash calciner to produce completely calcined lime from gas
streams.
Maerz Kiln
The Maerz regenerative lime shaft kiln developed in the early fifties by Schmid-Hofer in Austria
is the most modern and thermally efficient kiln for lime manufacture. The kilns are thermally
efficient and consume only around 880 900 K.Cal/ Kg of lime. The maerz kiln consists of two
or more shafts containing the material for calcining which are connected to each other at the
bottom of burning zone. Both the shafts are alternately changed with limestone and the lime is
discharged continuously at the bottom of both the shafts. Fuel is supplied to only one of the two
shafts. The fuel is introduced and evenly distributed over the cross section of the shaft, at the
bottom end of th preheating zone. Air for combustion is introduced at the throat above charge
and the system is pressurized through out. The air is preheated in the regenerator (preheating
zone) before it mixes with the fuel. The flame passes through the burning zone from top to
bottom (parallel flow heating). The waste gases leaves the fired shaft via bank of material and
Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board
Environmental Guidance Manual Lime Kilns

enter the secondary shaft and heat up its regenerator. The supply of fuel and air for combustion
is transferred from one shaft to the next at intervals of 12 minutes. Cooling air is introduced
under pressure continuously at the bottom end of shafts.
Parallel flow heating is the best pre-condition for the production of soft burned lime. The
excellent thermal conception of the kiln has been satisfactorily proved by means of heat
balances.
The Mearz kilns vary in size and capacities. The kilns have minimum of 2.2 m diameter and 2 or
3 shafts and upto 4.5 m with 2 shafts. He capacities vary from 150 to 600 tones using limestone
of 16 mm to 200 mm size. The Mearz kiln can use a variety of fuels like pulverized fuel, natha,
fuel, oil, BOF gas, coke oven gas, natural gas and even lignite.
Mearz kilns are superior compared to all other types of kilns. As for example it consumes only
around 800 900 K.Cal/ kg of lime compared to rotary kilns which consumes around 1300
1400 K.Cal/ Kg with pre-heater. The refractory consumption is also low i.e. 0.16 Kg/ tone of
lime compared to 0.75 0.80 Kg/tone of lime in the case of rotary kilns. It yields the best
possible soft burnt lime with high reactivity, which is highly desirable in steel mills especially in
BOF steel making process.
1.4 Heat requirement
The theoretical amount of heat required to heat CaCO3 can be calculated from the formula
Q=mst
Q

= 2000 x 0.255 x (1648 50)


= 0.815 million BTU/ton of CaCO3
= 1.459 million BTU/ton of CaO assuming that 1.79 tonnes is required to produce one
tone of CaO

But there is another larger heat requirement i.e. the retention of the dissociation temperature
until all the CO2 is driven off. The value reported for this requirement varies from 2.5 to 3.0
million BTU/Tone of high calcium quick lime but around 2.6 to 2.7 million BTU/Tone for high
calcined and dolomitic quick limes respectively. These values are for 100% theoretically pure
carbonates with decreasing purity. However, the heat requirements will be less. For purposes of
computation of thermal efficiencies only latter i.e. 2.77 million BTU/ton of CaO is taken into
consideration. The heat requirement of 1.6 million BTU/tonne of quick lime for preheating is
usually not taken into consideration as the calcination occurs only after attainment of
preheating. Lime is produced commercially by heating limestone or chalk to a bright red heat in
kilns. The temperature should be regulated to convert all the carbonate into lime without
overheating the product.

CHAPTER 5
Environmental Aspects and Guidance
5.0 Sources of Emissions
The typical pollution source during the lime manufacturing includes particulate & gaseous
emissions from:

Unloading of raw material


Storage and transfer of material
Crushing, grinding and screening operations
From open top of kiln
From discharge doors
Hydration plant

The major reactions inside a limekiln, which causes gaseous emissions, can be summarized as
follows:
Calcinations of limestone
Combustion of fixed carbon in coal
Combustion of volatile matter in coal
Combustion of S content of coal
Other reactions

CaCO3
C
+
O2
CnHm + (n+m/4)O2

O2
CO2
+
C
+
XO2
N2

CaO + CO2
CO2
nCO2+ (m/2) H2O
SO2
2CO
2NOx

Solid Waste
The product lime discharged through the doors at the bottom of kiln contains besides good
quality lime, some amount of under burnt or over burnt lime and fines. The under burnt lime
does not pose much threat as a pollutant as it is usually recharged into the kiln for re-burning or
dumped on ground within the plant for leveling purposes. The over burnt material containing
less available lime is hydrated and the hydrated fines are packed and sold. The coarse material
left during hydration is dumped within the plant site or sold at a lower price as a building
material. The lime fines that settle on the floor are usually collected, hydrated and sold. Lime
dusts from pollution control equipments viz. cyclones can be taken to a waste dump, used as a
landfill or for agricultural land treatment. The dust from hydrates can be scrubbed and used for
hydration.
Water pollution
Water pollution is not significant from lime manufacturing process.

5.1 Pollution Control Technologies


The major air contaminations from lime manufacturing activity are particulate matter and SO2.
Adequate control measures are available to control these pollutants from lime kilns, including
Cyclones
Cyclone separator makes use of centrifugal force for separation of particles. A tangential
velocity is imparted to the gas by a tangential energy or by means of ring of vanes, which
convert the axial into spatial flow. Cyclones do not have moving part and can handle up to 30
m3/minute of gases. The pressure drop can be up to 150 mm water gauge. The gases leaving
limekiln can be passed through dry cyclone for primary collection. 70-80% particulate matter
can be collected (+10 micron) and taken to waste dump for disposal.
Cyclone scrubbers
Scrubber is usually used for removal of solid in liquid dispersoids from carrier gas stream by
use of water as scrubbing liquid. The scrubbing action is due to the following:

Due to impingement of dispersoids or liquid medium


Diffusion of dispersoids or liquid medium
Partition of gas into small elements to allow collection of dispersoids by gravitational
settling on the gas interface.

About 90-92% of efficiency can be obtained by using cyclone scrubber in limekiln having a
pressure drop of 5 water and gas discharge rate of 26,000 CFM gases.
Gravel bed filter
The gravel bed filter is divided into separate parallel compartments under each of which the
flue gases flow upwards through a horizontal bed of filter medium. Due to force of inertia and
adhesion, the fine dust particles are trapped in the bed. The bed is mounted on springs and
vibrated by motor. It can handle the gas up to a temperature of 3500C and the pressure drop is
around 70 -120 mm water gauge
Fabric filter
In this system of separation of particles on the fabric, involves more than single mechanical
trapping since the open spaces between fibers are usually larger than individual particles.
Fabric filter acts as an inertial impaction target to collect the particulate matter. Fabric filers are
being extensively used in lime industry abroad but these plans are larger capacities. Single kiln
gases are frequently discharged hot; it is usual practice to cool the gases prior to the entry of
bags. 98% and above collection efficiency have been reported.

Electrostatic precipitator
In ESP, the dust particles from gases are removed by making them acquire a charge by passage
through an electrical field. The charged dust particles migrate towards the oppositely charged
collecting electrodes and gets collected. When the dust layer is sufficiently thick and
agglomerated, it is dislodged from electrodes either by rapping, in case of dry separation or by
liquid flushing in case of wet separation.
5.2 Air Pollution Control System A case study
A model APC developed by MPCB and installed in one of the kilns is given in the Figure 5.2.

5.3 In-Plant Control


As regards the emissions, proper combustion conditions have to be maintained to ensure very
low CO concentrations within the permissible limits. Coal should be conserved to the maximum
by utilizing it properly and decreasing the fuel rate per ton of lime. This requires a critical study
of the combination of several factors such as size and quantities of limestone and fuel, nature of
stone and quality of fuel, control of combustion conditions to maintain proper temperature
gradients for the preheating, calcinations and cooling zones, retention time of stone at the
temperature etc. All these can be easily optimized and implemented but better fuel rates can be
achieved only if the kilns are run continuously. This will enable the kilns to minimize the heat
losses and achieve better thermal efficiencies.

Noise Limits for Generator Sets run with Diesel
1. Noise limit for diesel generator sets (up to 1000 KVA) manufacture on or after the 1st July
2003
The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator (DG) sets with rated
capacity up to 1000 KVA, manufactured on or after the 1st July, 2003 shall be 75 dB (A) at 1
meter from the enclosure surface
The diesel generator sets should be provided with integral acoustic enclosure at the
manufacturing stage itself
The implementation of noise limit for these diesel generator sets shall be regulated as given in
paragraph 3 below

2.1 Noise from DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by treating the
room acoustically, at the users end
2.2 The acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the room shall be designed for minimum 25
dB (A) insertion loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards, whichever is on the higher
side (if the actual ambient noise is on the higher side, it may not be possible to check the
performance of the acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment. Under such circumstances the
performance may be checked for noise reduction up to actual ambient noise level, preferably, in
the nighttime). The measurement for insertion loss may be done at different points at 0.5m from
the acoustic enclosure/room, and then averaged
2.3 The DG set shall be provided with proper exhaust muffler with insertion loss of minimum
25 dB (A)
2.4 these limits shall be regulated by the State Pollution Control Boards and the State Pollution
Control Committees
