Since limestone is available in abundance, its quality has not drawn much attention and is largely ignored. It may be noted further that the generation of high-purity or high-grade calcium from limestone for various uses in outer space applications may be required in future by the industry, and this can be derived only through limestone …

Processes involved in processing limestone can be categorized as either wet or dry, depending on the purpose for which it is used. Fuel is the next step in processing limestone. Fuel is used in rotary kilns. This fuel burns with the limestone in a kiln. The resulting carbon dioxide and quicklime are calcined.
