Solution

Calcination and roasting are metallurgical processes. Calcination involves heating ores (like carbonates) in absence of air to remove volatile matter, e.g., CaCO3CaO+CO2. Roasting involves heating sulphide ores in air to convert them to oxides, e.g., 2ZnS+3O22ZnO+2SO2. Both require controlled heating and are best performed in a reverberatory furnace, which allows for efficient heat application and gas control.

Final Answer: reverberatory furnace
