Question

What do you mean by Roasting and Calcination?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Calcination - It is the process of converting an ore into its oxide by heating strongly, below its melting point either in a limited supply or in absence of air. This method is commonly used for converting carbonates and hydroxides to their respective oxides. During calcination, moisture and volatile impurities are also removed.

 

For example: Calcium carbonate is converted into calcium oxide by calcination.

 

CaCO₃ + heat → CaO +CO₂

Roasting - In this process, an ore is converted into its oxide by heating it strongly in excess of air. This method is commonly used for sulphide ores. During roasting, moisture and non metallic impurities are also removed as volatile gases .

 

For example: Zinc sulphide is converted into zinc oxide by roasting.

2ZnS + 3O₂ + heat →  2ZnO + SO₂

The difference: between roasting and calcination is that roasting is done in excess of air while calcination is done in limited supply or absence of air.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Roasting is converting ore of a metal to it's oxide by heating above it's melting point or in the presence of efficient amount of oxygen.

Clacination is converting ore of a metal to it's oxide by heating strongly below it's melting point or in the limited supply of oxygen.
