A global survey for pulp mill operators, conducted in 2011 by Francey et al. [87], shows that there are only a few lime kilns burning alternative fuels (and only one kiln burning biogas). However, most of the respondents showed interest in alternative fuels, motivated mainly by lower energy costs and renewable energy use [ 87 ].
One pulp mill in Asia installed modules in both the lime kiln and causticizing operation, which are intimately linked in the kraft process, since lime from the kiln is added to the causticizer to prepare white liquor. In the lime kiln, variability in temperature and excess oxygen was reduced by 40% along with an 8% reduction in energy use.
The lime kiln in a kraft pulp mill converts lime mud, which is largely composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3), into burnt lime, i.e., calcium oxide (CaO), and carbon dioxide (CO 2). This thermal decomposition reaction requires a high temperature and occurs spontaneously when the lime mud temperature exceeds approximately 800 °C in a gas ...
The results also reveal the formation of recirculation zones immediately downstream of the rings, as well as temperature deviations upstream and downstream of the rings that might promote recarbonation and further ring growth. The model was applied to a kiln from a kraft mill with front-end and mid-kiln rings and good agreement was obtained ...
The EPA is proposing revisions to the new source performance standards for kraft pulp mills. These revised standards include particulate matter emission limits for recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks and lime kilns, which apply to emission units commencing construction, reconstruction or...
Most pulp and paper facilities operate their own kilns and regenerate lime after use. Thus, this industry is primarily a market for "make-up" lime from commercial manufacturers. ... Lime is used in the treatment of pulp and paper mill liquid wastes as a coagulant in color removal, a filtration conditioner, and, to a lesser extent, as a ...
Modern Lime Kilns were modified along with coolers to reduce the fuel consumption (7.0GJ/Ton) [4] but it increased the capital cost. Though the modern lime Kiln are more energy efficient it is not suitable or economical for small capacity (< 100 TPD of lime mud, or 300-350 TPD unbleached pulp). Furthermore, lime kiln operation in Indian pulp mills

Fossil Free drives carbon negativity Lime mud reburning in the Kraft process used in pulp/paper/board production is a major source to CO2-emissions. The lime kiln is often the last big consumer of fossil fuels in the mill. In Sweden many lime kilns have been converted to bio-fuels, which instead means that great amounts of biomass

In lime kilns, rings become radially thicker and axially longer with time. They are therefore expected to have a different ef-fect on the burner flame. In this series of tests, the effect …
the kiln, commonly referred to as soda balls, which are sometimes observed in kilns with frequent ring problems. Soda balls are suspected to be caused by alkali (i.e., sodium hydroxide) volatilizing in the hot end of the kiln and condensing in the chain section. Rings form when lime mud or product lime particles adhere to the refractory wall.
"Biomass gasification for lime kilns was used in the 80's and 90's followed by a long pause in the market," says Taillon. "However, as the usage of fossil fuels came under the spotlight, we have seen renewed interest for lime kiln biomass gasification. This message can be heard from many other actors and consultants to pulp mills' owners.

ABSTRACT: Ring formation occurs in the rotary kilns used by the pulp and paper industry to regenerate the lime needed to produce white liquor. The main rings are: burning zone rings, mid-kiln rings, dust rings and/or mud balls, and mud rings. While the exact mechanisms of ring formation are not completely understood, frequent changes in
There are a number of sources of biomass-derived and fossil fuel-derived CO 2 emissions from pulp and paper mills. The CO 2 emissions from kraft mill lime kilns can be difficult to properly characterize because they contain a combination of fuel- and process-derived carbon of both fossil and biomass origin. In this paper, methods are …
