[หˆkรฆl.saษชnd ]

Definition

Context #1 | Verb

chemistry process

Calcined refers to the process of heating a substance to a high temperature but below its melting point, causing thermal decomposition or phase transition. This is commonly used in metallurgy and ceramics to remove volatile substances. The process causes changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials, making them more useful for industrial applications. Calcination can also enhance the reactivity of materials, which is crucial in many chemical processes.

Synonyms

heated, roasted, sintered.

Examples of usage

  • The limestone was calcined to produce quicklime.
  • Clay is often calcined before being used in pottery.
  • The metal ore was calcined to retrieve pure metal.
  • Calcined alumina is used in the production of ceramics.

Interesting Facts

Etymology

  • The term comes from the Latin word 'calcinare', which means 'to burn lime'.
  • Historically, lime needed to be calcined to be used in construction and agriculture.

Science

  • Calcination is important in chemistry, especially in the production of metals from ores.
  • This process is often used in the production of cement, where limestone is heated to create lime.

Industrial Applications

  • Calcined products are foundational in industries such as steel, ceramics, and glass manufacturing.
  • Bauxite ore must be calcined to produce alumina, a key ingredient in aluminum production.

Environmental Considerations

  • Calcination processes often produce carbon dioxide, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Modern techniques aim to reduce the carbon footprint associated with calcination.

Cultural Significance
