🧪 Rare Earth Oxide Calcination (2D)

A per-grain thermal-decomposition lab: watch individual rare-earth oxalate grains bake into oxide, releasing off-gas, as you tune kiln temperature, air feed and moisture and watch conversion, surface reactivity and sintering risk emerge from the bed.

This 2D companion drives the same calcination chemistry as the 3D version, but through a genuine per-grain thermal-decomposition simulation instead of an aggregate dial. Kiln temperature, air/oxygen feed and moisture set a target conversion fraction — the same model the 3D lab uses — and each grain's own conversion progress relaxes toward that target over time, shifting color from chalky oxalate grey to REE-oxide tan as it decomposes and releasing off-gas bubbles in proportion to how fast it is converting. Grains also visibly fuse and grow as sintering risk climbs, which is exactly what drives the surface-reactivity readout back down, so the live conversion, reactivity and sintering numbers come from the simulated bed rather than a fixed formula alone.

⚙ Under the hood

2D per-grain calcination lab: rare-earth oxalate grains thermally decompose into oxide at a rate set by kiln temperature, releasing off-gas, while excess heat and air sinter the bed into denser, less reactive clumps.
