Limestone or shells which is chemically known as Calcium Carbonate are burned for a full time until they are calcinated , which means they are reduced to Calcium Oxide which is known as quick lime.This releases carbon di oxide to the atmosphere.The lime is quick to react with water which causes intense reaction creates heat and converting them to lime.
Take 10 kilograms of shell /clams , which is available from the organic fertilizer shop in the local area.
10 Kilograms of Kakka/clams/shells costs is Indian Rupees 200/- as on December 2022.
Spread them on the floor or an earthen pot or wooden slices can be used for processing the shells to lime.
