The report gives results of a study to develop particulate emission factors based on cutoff size for inhalable particles for the lime industry. After reviewing available information characterizing particulate emissions from lime plants, the data were summarized and rated in terms of reliability. Size-specific emission factors were developed from these data for the major processes used in the manufacture of lime. A detailed process description was presented with emphasis on factors affecting the generation of emissions. A replacement for Section 8.15 (Lime Manufacturing) of EPA report AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors, was prepared, containing the size-specific emission factors developed during this program.
