Calcination
Okay kiddo, have you ever played with clay or putty and made something cool out of it? Well, when grown-ups make things out of clay, they use a special process called calcination to make the clay stronger and harder.
Calcination is like baking clay at very high temperatures. When you put clay in a hot oven, the heat slowly removes all the water molecules from the clay. This helps the clay molecules stick together and become stronger.
When you remove the clay from the oven, it's very hard and won't break or crumble easily. It's like when your mom bakes a yummy cake and takes it out of the oven - it's all firm and holds its shape instead of being soft and gooey.
Calcination is used not only for clay, but for other materials like limestone and metals also. This is because it helps remove impurities and make the material stronger and more useful for making things. So, that's what calcination is all about - baking things really hot to make them harder, stronger, and more useful!
