Meaning of "calcinate" in English

Calcinate refers to the process of heating a substance to a high temperature but below its melting point, causing thermal decomposition or phase transition. This technique is often used in the fields of chemistry and metallurgy to remove volatile substances or impurities from ores or materials, resulting in a purer form of the substance. The process of calsination is crucial in preparing materials for further chemical reactions, often used in the production of cement, lime, and other industrial processes where thermal decomposition is necessary.
