Question

Calcination
It is the process in which an ore is heated strongly in the
absence
(i) to convert a carbonate ore into metal oxide ZnCO3
→ ZnO + CO2
(ii) to expel water from hydrated ores
(iii) to expel volatile impurities from the ore

Dear student,

The cacination is defined as the heating of an ore below its
melting point in absence of air , so as per the definition it may
be a carbonate ores or any hrdrated ores like : CuSO4
5H2O
→In absence of airHeated→In absence of airHeated
CuSO4 + 5 H2O
