With the help of suitable chemical equations, list the two main differences between roasting and calcination. How is metal reduced from the product obtained after roasting/calcination of the ore ? Write the chemical equation for the reaction involved.
Marking-scheme solution
| Roasting | Calcination | |
| $\displaystyle 1$ | It is carried out for sulphide ores. | It is carried out for carbonate ores. |
| $\displaystyle 2$ | Ore is heated in excess of air \[ \begin{aligned} | 2 \mathrm{ZnS}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{ZnO}+2 \mathrm{SO}_{2} |
| \mathbf{O R} \end{aligned} \] | Ore is heated in absence or limited supply of air. \[ \mathrm{ZnCO}_{3} \xrightarrow[\mathbf{O R}]{\text { Heat }} \mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \] \[ \begin{gathered} \mathrm{CaCO}_{3} \xrightarrow{\text { heat }} \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} | |
| \mathbf{O R} \end{gathered} \] \[ \mathrm{PbCO}_{3} \xrightarrow{\text { heat }} \mathrm{PbO}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \] |
