The reversibility of the reaction CaCO3 ⇄ CaO+CO2

Barker, Ronald·1973·Journal of Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology

Abstract

The reversibility of the reaction CaCO 3 ⇌ CaO+CO 2 has been examined through a large number of cycles (up to 40), mainly at 866 °C. The decomposition to the oxide is always 100% but the reactivity of the oxide so formed to carbon dioxide falls off markedly after a rapid initial reaction. There is a large increase in surface area on going from the non‐porous calcium carbonate to the oxide and this is due to the formation of pores, mostly very small (< 4 nm). The fast component of the back reaction is a surface reaction and the subsequent slow reaction is controlled by the slow diffusion of carbon dioxide through the newly formed carbonate layer. The reversibility of the reaction decreases with the number of cycles, rapidly at first and then more slowly: the first effect is probably due to loss of pore volume in the oxide and the second to sintering of the carbonate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
