Lime Kilns and Recausticizing: The Forgotten Part of a Kraft Mill serves as a training resource, as an in-depth reference guide, and as a refresher for more seasoned engineers. It provides a solid theoretical foundation, intermixed with practical operating experiences and troubleshooting guides.
Even though kilns and recausticizing areas are often referred to as “the forgotten part of the mill,” their availability and uptime performance are critical factors in overall mill productivity and profitability.
The calcium cycle is an integral part of the kraft-liquor cycle. Reliable performances from these areas are required to ensure an adequate supply of white liquor to the pulp mill. And, as the largest single user of fossil fuel in the mill, kiln performance is also critical from an environmental and cost point of view.
Lime Kilns and Recausticizing reviews the entire kraft chemical recovery cycle, lime kiln chemistry and includes 11 chapters dedicated to all areas of the kiln, both process and mechanical.
