Answers
Answer:
Roasting vs Calcination
Roasting
Calcination
One is heated in the presence of excess of oxygen or air. one is heated in the absence or limited supply of oxygen or air
This method is employed for sulphide ores. This method is employed for carbonate ores.
Sulphur dioxide is produced along with metal oxide. Carbon dioxide is produced along with metal oxide.
Example: For the ores ZnS (sphalerite) and Cu2S (chalcocite), balanced equations for the roasting are:
2ZnS+3O2-->2 Zno+ 2SO2
2 Cu2S + 3O2 → 2 Cu2O + 2 SO2
Answer:
While calcination is mostly used in the oxidation of carbonates, roasting is a method that is used for converting sulphide ores. During roasting, moisture and non-metallic impurities in the form of volatile gases are released.... An example of roasting is when Zinc sulphide is converted into zinc oxide.
