Kanthal heaters for limestone production - [2]- Calcium oxide is quicklime [3]
- Quicklime is $120/metric ton (MT) in 2015 [4]
- 280MMT are produced per year [5], or about 33B market
- 4MJ/kg of quicklime produced for shaft kiln. The theoretical heat requirement for dissociation of CaCO3 is about 3,15 MJ
per kg of lime. The rotary kiln consumes about 8 MJ per kg of lime. [6]
Lime Production (Calcination and More)

- Kanthal heater tubes - [7] - radiant heaters are already protected from chemical and thermal shock
- Alumina tubes - with kanthal heater wire outside? [8]
- Graphite tube - $500 for 3' of 2" ID - [9]. This should work as calcium carbide is formed only at much higher temperatures compared to lime production.
