Limekiln is a city located in the nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. It serves as a local settlement within the country's geographic landscape.
While the name shares a designation with an industrial structure used for the calcination of limestone, a lime kiln specifically refers to a furnace where calcium carbonate is heated to produce quicklime (calcium oxide). The chemical process involved in this reaction is CaCO3 + heat → CaO + CO2.
