CALCINES Meaning and
Definition
-
Calcine is a verb that refers to the process of heating a substance at a very high temperature, typically to the point of oxidation or decomposition. This process is usually carried out in order to remove impurities, alter the physical or chemical properties of the substance, or cause it to become friable or powdery in texture.
When a material is calcined, it is subjected to intense heat to bring about a chemical or physical change. The heat causes the substance to undergo various transformations such as losing its volatile components or undergoing thermal decomposition. As a result, the desired changes in the substance's properties are brought about, making it suitable for further processing or use.
Calcination can be used in various industries and applications. In metallurgy, for example, ores are calcined to remove moisture, impurities, and sulfur, making them more suitable for metal extraction. In the production of cement, limestone is calcined to produce lime, an important ingredient used in the manufacturing process. Additionally, calcination is also utilized in the production of ceramics, where it is employed to enhance clay's properties by driving off water and organic matter.
Overall, calcination involves the treatment of a substance with extreme heat to induce chemical or physical changes, allowing for improved properties or the removal of undesirable components.
