Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product "quicklime in pieces loose" represents the production of 1 kg of quicklime in pieces obtained by calcination of crushed limestone. Quicklime is produced by the thermal decomposition of limestone. It consists mainly of calcium oxide. Its quality depends on many factors including physical properties degree of sintering and chemical composition. As the most readily available and cost effective alkali quicklime plays an essential part in a wide variety of industrial processes. The difference between clinker and quicklime used for products in the binding agent industry is mainly the calcination temperature which is a maximum of 1450ºC for clinker and a maximum of 1200ºC for quicklime. This form of quicklime can then be sent for grinding to obtain milled quicklime. Quicklime is used for soil stabilisation in the road construction industry as a building material as a process material in the chemical and sugar industries in the iron and steel industry where it is used as an additive for the formation of slag in electric furnaces and for the treatment of wastewater. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
