A Note on Calcination Study of Sanu and Gotan SMS Grade Limestones of Western Rajasthan, India

Abstract :

Two chemically similar high–grade limestone deposits occurring in Sanu area of Jaisalmer and Gotan area of Nagaur, Rajasthan were studied to determine their suitability for SMS use through the process of calcination. On calcinations at different test temperatures, Sanu limestone shows shrinkage while, Gotan limestone shows expansion, with their volume index of about 1 and 0.9 respectively. It suggests that both the limestones are suitable for SMS use however, the Sanu limestone is superior than the Gotan limestone. The shrinkage and expansion behaviour of limestones of the study area also shows better correlation with their grain morphology and microstructures.
