When a carbonate ore is heated, we get carbon dioxide. A carbonate ore is calcinated to obtain oxide of the metal. Following equation shows calclnations of zinc carbonate.

Z n C O_{3} \to Z n O + C O_{2}

When a sulphide ore is roasted, we get Sulphur dioxide. Zinc sulphide is roasted to obtain zinc oxide.

2 Z n S + 3 O_{2} \to 2 Z n O + 2 S O_{2}

After any of the above steps; zinc oxide is reduced to obtain pure zinc.

Z n O + C \to Z n + CO
