High‐purity calcite of 10/20 mesh was calcined at various heating rates and fired to various maximum temperatures to determine the effect of these variables on the densification of the CaO produced. It was found that the heating rate during dissociation had a great bearing on densification. Shock heating conditions at temperatures between 2200° and 2530°F. gave bulk density values which were abnormally low.
