    The lime kiln is used to produce quicklime through the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate). This reaction takes place at 900 °C but a temperature around 1000 °C is usually used to make the reaction precede quickly. 2 Quicklime was used to make plaster and mortar for building construction.
