Question: Limestone containing 8 7 % C a C O 3 , 6 % M g C O 3 , 3 % hematite, 2 % silica

Limestone containing 87%CaCO3,6%MgCO3,3% hematite, 2% silica and
remaining water is calcined in hot water to vaporize the water and separate CO2 from
the carbonates. The CaO and MgO created by the reaction leave in the solid calcine,
along with hematite and silica. How many kilograms of calcine will be produced per
ton of limestone?
