How can you separate alumina from silica in a baxuite ore associated with silica? Give equations, if any.
Giving examples differentiate between 'roasting' and 'calcium'.

Calcination |
1. It is a process of heating the ore in presence of excess of air. |
1. It is a process of heating strongly in the absence of air. |
2. It is used to convert the sulphides ore into oxide ore. 2ZnS(s) + 3O2(g) →2ZnO(s) + 2SO2 (g) |
2. It is used to convert the carbonate or hydrated oxide ores to oxide ore. ZnCO3 (s) →ZnO(s) + CO2 (g) |
