−	Roasting, in relation to material science is a process by which a material, usually a metal ore is heated to extreme temperatures in excess air, or heated in ~~ver~~ hot air, in order to burn off impurities. It is a form of pyrometallurgy, which also includes other thermal treatments such as smelting and calcination. During roasting the material reaction is hotter than the surroundings and thus releases heat (exothermic) unlike calcination where the treated material remains cooler than its surroundings thus absorbing heat (endothermic).	+	Roasting, in relation to material science is a process by which a material, usually a metal ore is heated to extreme temperatures in excess air, or heated in very hot air, in order to burn off impurities. It is a form of pyrometallurgy, which also includes other thermal treatments such as smelting and calcination. During roasting the material reaction is hotter than the surroundings and thus releases heat (exothermic) unlike calcination where the treated material remains cooler than its surroundings thus absorbing heat (endothermic).
