define roasting and calcination
Answers
Roasting:
Roasting is a process in metallurgy in which a sulfide ore is heated in air. The process may convert a metal sulfide to a metal oxide or to a free metal. Example: Roasting ZnS may yield ZnO; roasting HgS may yield free Hg metal.
Calcination:
The IUPAC defines calcination as "heating to high temperatures in air or oxygen". However, calcination is also used to mean a thermal treatment process in the absence or limited supply of air or oxygen applied to ores and other solid materials to bring about a thermal decomposition.
