About this document

Calcination and Reduction of Zinc Ore by gulatisrishti15 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

(1) Calcium carbonate is heated to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, in a process called calcination. Calcium is the metal extracted from calcium carbonate. (2) Zinc carbonate is also converted to zinc oxide through calcination. The zinc oxide is then reduced to zinc metal by heating with carbon. (3) Highly reactive metals like sodium are extracted via electrolysis of molten salts like sodium chloride, since their oxides have a very strong bond to oxygen. During electrolysis, sodium ions are reduced
