Calcium Carbonate Production from Limestone - Cost Analysis - Calcium Carbonate E11A

This report presents a cost analysis of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) production from limestone. In this typical process, limestone is first calcinated. The product reacts with water producing calcium hydroxide, which is further carbonated with carbon dioxide from calcination to produce PCC. This in-depth, independent study provides readers with key and hard-to-find information regarding a production process technology and its economics, such as a description of the manufacturing process and industrial site installations, plant construction cost breakdown, production cost breakdown, and raw materials consumption figures. It was developed according to a consistent methodology refined by Intratec Solutions over more than 12 years, which involves extensive bibliographic research and data gathering/validation, process simulations and robust cost models.
