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.
