Primitive Technology: Lime

  • Опубліковано 5 бер 2018
  • At the old hut site (the new one being temporarily cut off by flooding) I made lime mortar from the shells of rainforest snails by firing them in a kiln, slaking them in water, mixing them into lime putty. Limestone is basically calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The general source of lime is limestone and various other calcareous minerals, though shells, egg shells and coral are other sources of lime (for more information see video on Corporals Corner channel: • How To Make Roman Conc... or Skillcults channel: • BuildCult Ep.1, Seashe... ). When heated above 840 degrees Celsius, the lime decomposes into calcium oxide (CaO) or Quicklime and releases carbon dioxide (CO2). When water is added to the quicklime it becomes calcium hydroxide Ca (OH)2 or lime putty. From here the calcium hydroxide can then be shaped into a form and allowed to set. Carbon dioxide enters the lime putty as it dries causing it to turn back into calcium carbonate. The new calcium carbonate has then set, remaining solid and water resistant.
    In my local geography, calcareous rocks such as limestone are absent leading to a difficulty in acquiring the feed stock for lime making. However, I was still able to make lime by collecting the shells of large terrestrial snails that are native to the rainforest here. The unoccupied shells of these snails were gathered up and stored at the hut. Fire wood was gathered and packed neatly into the kiln. Importantly, the firewood was stacked on top of the grate rather than underneath it in the firebox as is the normal procedure for firing pottery. Using an ordinary updraft pottery kiln in this configuration allows it to reach much higher temperatures than would be possible during normal use. The wood was lit from above and the fire burned down towards the grate. Alternate layers of shells and wood were added on to this burning fuel bed. After adding the last layer of wood to act as a “lid” to prevent heat loss from above I left the kiln to finish on its own, unsupervised. The whole process took about an hour and a half.
    When the kiln had cooled down a few hours later, I took out the calcined shells. Not shown in the video was the fact that some shells got so hot, the dirt stuck to them turned into slag and fused to them, possibly with the lime acting a flux lowering its melting point. This extreme heat (+1200 c) should be avoided as the over burnt lime becomes “dead lime”, unable to slake in water. Most shells were still useable though. They were taken out of the kiln and had water added to them. An exothermic reaction then ensued. Heat was produced as the lime quicklime turned into slaked lime. The water heated up creating steam and the shells decomposed into a white paste. The paste was stirred and crushed pottery was added to it as an aggregate (sand is normally used for this, I just had a lot of old pot sherds lying about to dispose of). This lime mortar mixture was then formed into a block shape and left to dry. It took about a week and a half to set as we have had extremely humid, wet weather. The block was observed to have set demonstrating its properties.
    What I created is actually lime mortar, typically used for mortaring bricks and tiles together. It’s basically the ‘Glue’ that holds together the building blocks of masonry structures. From my research 20 kg of lime mortar is used on a 1 m square section of brick wall. 5 kg of lime to 15 kg of aggregate (sand, grog etc.) per a 1 m square section of bricks. The shells, though large, are not terribly abundant. A method for finding shells efficiently needs to be made before considering making lime mortar in this fashion. From my experience sand bars in a creek sometimes accumulate snail shells from higher up in the mountains. In these spots, water velocity decreases and shells in the water tend to drop out of the water column. Additionally lime may be partially replaced with ordinary wood ash in mortar without a corresponding decrease in strength. To conclude, making lime in a land without limestone is possible but can be problematic when trying to do so on a large scale.

    Btw - For anyone at home: You don't want to touch the burnt shells with your bare hands as they will react chemically with the moisture and the protective oils on your hands.
    Lime is a strong base (alkaline) called Calcium hydroxide which is similar to drain cleaner pellets in strength

    After watching your videos, I tried to build a furnace in the Appalachian mountains where I frequently camp for two weeks at a time. As you can imagine, there are plenty of woods, and the terrain contains many sizable stones, but even with river access there is little mud or clay. If at all, it is tightly bound between the roots of trees. The main materials there are rock, sand, gravel, wood and water. Thus, i modified the design to a stone furnace with the sparse amount of clay-rich mud as mortar. Got pretty hot, but not quite hot enough to fire the little bit of clay I found. I would definitely try again next spring

    "Making lime from snail shells" was new knowledge for me. Thank you.
    The mortar you made is in Turkey; It is called "Horasan Mortar" or "Roman Mortar". It has various formulas and egg white can also be mixed into it. This mortar has been used in archaeological structures for thousands of years and is a stronger type of mortar than concrete.
    Over the years it gets harder and becomes just like a rock. However, although it is hard, its biggest feature is that it absorbs the impacts that occur during earthquakes.

    • @juanchetumare
      @juanchetumare 5 місяців тому +2

      That last part is not entirely true. Lime mortar is not stronger or harder than Portland cement, and isn't shock absorbing. That being said, lime cement is kinda self healing, since when water fills cracks, lime dissolves kinda like what is seen in the video and "repairs" the cracks. It's still pretty cool tho

    • @YouCountSheep
      @YouCountSheep 5 місяців тому +5

      @@juanchetumare Its not the lime that does that. In roman concrete and mortar it is volcanic ash and salt that has this chemical reaction that grows new crystals when it gets wet. There is lime in normal cement aswell. If volcanic ash wasn't the limiting factor worldwide we would all build with roman concrete still. But we don't have it everywhere so that old roman formula is not as good without it for the masses we use it for.

      @@sa.8208 prisoner =/= criminal (does not equate to). Are a lot of prisoners criminals? Sure, most likely. But a lot are, and historically have been, political dissidents or just people who pissed off someone -important- powerful (like a farmer eloping with a lord's daughter). A _great_ many were also simply unable to pay a debt in time to appease a landlord, grocer, or other money lender, and that could have been as simple as _them_ owing money, so they call in debts. If you can't pay, you're arrested, sent to jail which causes more fees, etc.
      And yes, this still happens today.

      The magic is in the notch you cut in the fireboard. This collects the hot dust together and then smolders. You blow air over it to get it to glow into an ember and then gently drop the ember into a very dry tinder bundle where it can be nursed into a flame.

    If you use wood ash in the mix in addition to your aggregate the lime should be flexible, victorians used to use this mix to sound dampen floors in a house. The additional ash also allows the mix to set under water.
    Additionally you should add way less water to your lime and hammer it where you need it, with larger and smaller crushed up tile, dry as possible, and compact it by repeatedly bashing it into where you want it. This is what the Romans did and this is why their cement is incredibly strong.

    Most shows on TV only show the survivalist blowing into tinder to catch on fire (Seemingly after a huge effort to get an ember which we can NEVER EVER see.) Primitive Technology shows the friction of the wood, the embers forming, and then the fire. Leads me to believe every single survival show is BS. Thank you for showing us how making fire is properly done!

      that "rock" is called cement. you know, the stuff that ancient greek and the roman empire was build with.
      throw in sand and you get plaster, mix it with rocks and you get concrete, . swap the lime with bitumen and you get asphalt concrete.
      this technique enabled us to build roads, highways, monuments and cities. sure wouldnt hurt kids to know about this "rock", would it?
