  1. 1. The Correlation of Workability and Mechanical Strength in air lime binders with different aggregates and pozzolan

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård

    Author : Natalia Ioanna Dedousi; [2021-03-16]
    Keywords : conservation; air-limes; binders; aggregates; pozzolan;

    Abstract : In this study are investigated two air lime binders common in conservation practice. The first one is a commercial air lime, emerging from dry slaking, which was left to age for 4 months. The second is a natural quicklime emerging from the burning in a traditional lime kiln from Mariestad, Sweden. READ MORE

  2. 2. Evaluation of tomographic methods for limestone characterization : Using synchrotron-based X-ray tomography to determine porosity, internal structure and internal distributions in limestone

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Albert Askengren; [2021]
    Keywords : Limestone; X-ray tomography; Synchrotron; XRT; Synchrotron-based XRT;

    Abstract : Limestone is a raw material in the cement and quicklime industry and knowledge about limestone characteristics can help improve and optimize production processes. In the end this can lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions from the industry. In this project X-ray tomography (XRT) was used to examine limestone samples. READ MORE

  3. 3. Impact of calcination temperature and time on quicklime slaking reactivity

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Erik Björnwall; [2021]
    Keywords : Lime slaking reactivity; limestone calcination; Calcium carbonate; SEM;

    Abstract : In this master thesis work calcination parameters' impact on the resulting quicklimes slaking reactivity is investigated. This is done by calcination of three different sedimentary limestones in an N2 atmosphere according to a design of experiment matrix. The limestones are from Wolica Poland, Slite Sweden and Jutjärn Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 4. Influence of fuel mix on mass balance of Cl, S, and K in a long rotary kiln
