- the conversion of metals into their oxides as a result of heating to a high temperature
- Calcination (also referred to as calcining) is a thermal treatment process applied to ores and other solid materials in order to bring about a thermal decomposition, phase transition, or removal of a volatile fraction. ...
- Calcinate (Eastern Lombard: Calsinàt) is a town and comune in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy. Its economy is mostly based on industry.
- The process of calcining - heating a substance to a high temperature, but below its melting point, to bring about thermal decomposition
- (calcined) converted by calcination
- (Calcined) Oxidized by heating.
- (Calcined) Term used to describe bone that has been so thoroughly heated that all moisture and grease is oxidized or driven off, leaving only white, easily crumbled pieces. ...
- (Calcining) Burning: Enough heat to cause disintegration, or total fusion.
- (Calcining) To calcine a substance is to heat it so that it will break down into small particles or into a powder, or to drive of volatile substances. Lime kilns are calcining furnaces, for example, as are coke ovens. Other substances are calcined, as well. ...
- combusting in high heat to ashes in the presence of calcium; produces CaCO3 (aka calcite or limestone)
- The action of fire on mineral substances in which the reactants (a) often lose a noticeable amount of weight, (b) acquire a white color, (c) become friable (easily crumbled or pulverized). Almost always, a very high heat is employed.
- A process in which a material is heated to a high temperature without fusing, so that hydrates, carbonates, or other compounds are decomposed and the volatile material is expelled.
- Decomposition due to the loss of bound water and carbon dioxide.
- The process by which raw limestone is converted to quicklime by heating at temperatures between 900 - 1000 degrees C. During the process CaCO3 splits into calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Heating ores, concentrates, precipitates, or residues to decompose carbonates, hydrates, or other compounds.
- The first operation in alchemical transformation. It is denoted by the symbol for the first sign of the zodiac, Aries.
- Cremation from heat rather than flames.
