to heat something without melting in order to drive off water etc., and to decompose carbonates into oxides or to oxidize or reduce it; especially to heat limestone to form quicklime
To reduce to a powder, or to a friable state, by the action of heat; to expel volatile matter from by means of heat, as carbonic acid from limestone, and thus (usually) to produce disintegration; as to, calcine bones
Describes the high temperature treatment of catalyst precursor materials, converting them to strong, stable solids The term comes from ceramics technology, where calcining or firing is used to convert clay intermediates (green materials) to finished products
Heated to temperature of dissociation; for example, heat gypsum to the temperature where the water of crystallization is driven off
Reduce to calcium carbonate To purify a substance by subjecting it to high temperatures
to heat a ceramic batch material to a temperature below the melting or fusion point causing loss of moisture reduction, or oxidation
to heat something without melting in order to drive off water etc, and to decompose carbonates into oxides or to oxidize or reduce it; especially to heat limestone to form quicklime
