The correct statement(s) related to processes involved in the extraction of metals is(are)
Options
- ARoasting of Malachite produces Cuprite
- BCalcination of Calamine produces Zincite
- CCopper pyrites is heated with silica in a reverberatory furnace to remove iron
- DImpure silver is treated with aqueous in the presence of oxygen followed by reduction with zinc metal
Correct answer
B. Calcination of Calamine produces Zincite
Step-by-step solution
The ore Calamine contain . The Calamine on heating produces .
Cyanide process, also called Macarthur-forrest Process, method of extracting silver from impure ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of sodium cyanide in the presence of oxygen. The complex formed in the above process reduced to silver metal by the treatment with zinc.
(Silica) is a flux material. It removes impurities as slag. Here, slag consists of Iron in Sulphide ore of , here impurity is .
Malachite green is {Cu}_{2}O{CuCO}_{3} . Cu{\left(OH\right)}_{2}\overset{∆}{\to}2CuO + {CO}_{2} + {H}_{2}O$
