From the research and kinetic mathematical modeling on the reaction García, 2005, it was learnt that the grinding fineness of calcium carbonate influences decarbonization reaction rate taking place when it is placed at temperatures close to 900 °C. Besides influencing calcite decarbonization reaction rate, it has also been studied that the specific surface of calcium carbonate added into a clay admixture also influences the properties of the final ceramic product, such as: compressive strength, water absorption, material porosity and density among others, since at lower specific surface there will be a great amount of non-reactive CaO remaining on the product mass - which chemically combined with silica and alumina contained in clays - will get in contact with the atmosphere water vapor thus turning into CaOH.
Se conoce que la finura de molido del carbonato de calcio influye en la velocidad de la reacción de descarbonatación que ocurre cuando este es sometido a temperaturas cercanas a los 900 °C, a partir del estudio y modelación matemática de la cinética de dicha reacción García, 2005.
