Abstract
Various types of high-purity limestone, which occurred in the Pungchon Formation, are examined to understand applied-mineralogical factors controlling their calcination characters with respect to the ore characters. To do this work, systematic characterization and determination were carried out for the limestone ores and their calcination products in a fixed heating condition, and the results were correlated and discussed. During the calcination experiment, a phase transition from calcite to quicklime begins to occur selectively in the physical weak zones such as grain boundary, cleavage and twin planes. All the fabrics of original limestones are preserved in the resultant quicklime. In addition, crystallinity of the quicklime was advanced, as the aging time of calcination was increased. Major controlling factors on the calcination effects of the high-purity limestone are elucidated to be the degree of development of cleavage and twin, together with crystallinity and textures in the limestone ore. Especially, lower crystallinity and dense interlocking fabrics obviously play advantageous role in all the calcination characters. But the development of cleavage and twin affects negatively on the calcination characters on account of favoring decrepitaion of quicklime in the lime manufacturing. Thus, the high-purity limestones characteristic of marble fabrics and relatively lower crystallinity are comparatively advantageous for the uses of lime manufacture.
