Kiln Fuels
How do you find percentage yield of calcium oxide?

A modern gas-fuelled lime kiln produces 500kg of calcium oxide, (CaO quicklime), from 1000kg of crushed calcium carbonate, CaCo3 (limestone). What is the percentage yield of calcium oxide?
Sorry, I meant CaCO3

CaCO3(s) –> CaO(s) + CO2(g)

First determine theoretical yield:

1000kg(1000g/1kg)(1mol/100.09g)(1mol CaO/1mol CaCO3)(56.08g/1mol) = 560296g = 560kg

percent yield = 500kg/560kg x 100 = 89%

The burner is the device which effectively converts a fuel into heat. It can be as simple as a grate in a firebox or as complicated as the pumps, atomizers, blowers, and combustion chamber of an oil burner. The key to efficient burning of any fuel is the burner. The proper choice of burner is the difference between success and failure in fuel combustion. As the heat content of a gi…
