SCORIFY Meaning and
Definition
-
Scorify is a verb that refers to the process of converting a substance into a scoria-like or slag-like consistency by subjecting it to intense heat. The term is commonly used in the field of metallurgy, particularly in the extraction and refining of metal ores.
When a substance is scorified, it undergoes a transformation through strong heating, usually in the presence of a fluxing agent, such as a mineral or chemical compound that assists in the separation of impurities. This process causes the impurities to rise to the surface and form a slag, which can be easily separated from the desired component.
Scorification is often employed in the analysis and purification of ores to remove unwanted elements or compounds, and to obtain a purer form of the desired metal. The method can be performed in a scorification dish or crucible, placed in a high-temperature furnace or kiln. The substance is heated until it reaches its molten state, allowing the impurities to be oxidized and float to the surface.
The term 'scorify' originated from the Latin word 'scoria' which means 'cinder' or 'slag'. It is frequently used in scientific literature, experimental procedures, and discussions related to metallurgical practices. Scorification is an essential process in the production of various metals, including gold, silver, copper, and iron, as it helps remove impurities and improve the overall quality and purity of the final product.

Etymology of SCORIFY
The word "scorify" originated from the Latin term "scorificare", which is a fusion of two Latin words: "scoria" meaning "dross" or "slag", and "facere" meaning "to make". "Scorify" was first recorded in English in the late 17th century and is commonly used in scientific contexts, particularly in metallurgy. It refers to the process of purifying ores or metals by heating them to remove impurities and creating slag or dross as a byproduct.
