Pre-industrial Lime Kilns

An introduction to pre-industrial lime kilns. A lime kiln was a structure used to manufacture lime (calcium oxide) by burning calcium carbonate at temperatures above 900°C. The calcium carbonate burned (or 'calcined') was commonly limestone or chalk, but occasionally other materials such as oyster or egg shells were used.

In kilns with single-point firing, this input is limited by the amount of fuel that can be burned safely and efficiently in the burning zone, which is in essence a function of the kiln diameter. The precalciner, being effectively the second firing zone, greatly expands the system's capability.

Kiln

Kilns either allow the materials to come into contact with the flames, as in lime and cement kilns, to actually burn a substance down, or those in which the fire does not touch the ware, and the heat source is underneath or surrounds the kiln chamber, for brick, glass and pottery kilns, and the drying of organic materials.
