Evaluation of the properties of the CaCO3CaO system for metallurgical use

The principal goal of this work, is to make a preliminary and comparative s tudy on the physical chemistry, structural and thermal properties of the me tallurgical lime production using experimental, and in some cases industria l measurements. This is important, because the characterization of the CaCO 3CaO system, predicts the dissolution grade of the lime on the slag solutio n in the steelmaking. The mineral is located on the border of Michoacan (La zaro Cardenas) and the Guerrero states (La Union) Mexico. This study evidences limited properties off this lime, which is due to the thermal and physical chemistry behavior of the obtained results of this mat erial. However, it is necessary to make a study in the future about the kin etic behavior during decomposition. This is necessary because it is importa nt to obtain an increase in the basic oxides concentration and a decrease i n the loss of ignition, which is important for the competitive lime product ion.
