Detailed Solution

Roasting: The process of heating the mineral to high temperature in presence of air (or) oxygen is called roasting. During roasting volatile impurities are removed in the form of oxides.
Ex: 2ZnS+3O22ZnO+2SO2
ZnS+2O2ZnSO4
Calcination:- The process of heating the mineral to high temperature in the absence of air is called calcination.
During calcination volatile impurities are removed.
Ex: 1) CaCO3ΔCaO+CO2
2NaHCO3ΔNa2CO3+H2O+CO2
