Calcination Wikipedia
In limestone calcination, a decomposition process that occurs at 900 to 1050#186;C, the chemical reaction is CaCO 3 (s) CaO(s) + CO 2 (g). Today, this reaction largely occurs in a cement kiln.. The standard Gibbs free energy of reaction is approximated as G#176; r 177,100 158 T (J/mol). The standard free energy of reaction is 0 in this case when the temperature, T, is equal to 1121 K
