Adjective
Context #1 | Adjective

chemical process

Calcimined refers to a process involving the treatment of a substance with calcium oxide or other calcium compounds, often in the context of preparing minerals for use in various industries. This term is commonly associated with the calcination process, where materials are subjected to high temperatures to bring about a thermal decomposition. The term may also relate to the formation of a calcimine—a type of paint made from a mixture of water, pigment, and calcium carbonate, typically used for coating walls. Overall, calcimined implies a transformation through the application of calcium.

Synonyms

calcined, calcium-treated, mineral-prepared.

Examples of usage

  • The calcimined gypsum is ideal for construction.
  • Workers followed calcimined procedures for mineral preparation.
  • Calcimined coatings offer better durability on surfaces.

Etymology

The term 'calcimined' has its origins in the late 19th century, specifically deriving from the combination of 'calcium' and 'mined'. Calcium, a key chemical element, is instrumental in various industrial processes, while mining refers to the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth. The word 'calcine', from which calcimined is derived, comes from the Latin 'calcinare', meaning to burn lime. The processes associated with calcimined materials emphasize the importance of calcium in promoting chemical reactions and transformations, especially in the context of mineralogy and industrial applications.
