The lime industry is a significant carbon dioxide emitter. The manufacture of one tonne of calcium oxide involves decomposing calcium carbonate‚ with the formation of 785 kg of CO2 in some applications‚ such as when used as mortar; this CO2 is later re-adsorbed as the mortar goes off. Additionally‚ if the heat supplied to form the lime (3.75 MJ/kg in an efficient kiln) is obtained by burning fossil fuel it will release CO2: in the case of coal fuel 295 kg/t; in the case of natural gas fuel 206 kg/t

from ore -for example rutile‚TiO2 .You cannot use carbon reduction Titanium can not be extracted by reducing the ore using carbon as a cheap reducing agent.The problem is that titanium forms a carbide TiC‚if it is heated with carbon‚so you dont get the pure metal that you need.The presence of the carbide makes the metal very brittle. That means that you have to use an alternative reducing agent.In the case of titanium‚the reducing agent is either sodium or magnessium.Both of these would ofcoarse
