In a lime kiln, to get higher yield of CO ₂ , the measure that can be taken is
Options
- Ato remove CaO
- Bto add more CaCO ₃
- Cto maintain high temperature
- Dto pump out CO ₂
Correct answer
D. to pump out CO ₂
Step-by-step solution
In a lime kiln, to get higher yield of CO ₂ , the measure that can be taken is to pump out CO ₂ . This will reduce the pressure of CO ₂ and reaction will shift in forward direction. CaCO ₃ Heat CaO + CO ₂
