The IUPAC defines calcination as " heating to high temperatures in air or oxygen".
However, calcination is also used to mean a thermal treatment process in the absence or limited supply of air or oxygen applied to ores and other solid materials to bring about a thermal decomposition. A calciner is a steel cylinder that rotates inside a heated furnace and performs indirect high-temperature processing (550"1150 °C, or 1000"2100 °F) within a controlled atmosphere.
