Emission Factor

Quicklime - milled - loose (quicklime production - milled - loose)

Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product "quicklime milled loose" represents 1kg of milled quicklime produced by crushing milling filtering (cyclone) dedusting transport by conveyor belt and storage. 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. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
