During the formation of the slag by the reaction of flux and impurities which of the following is an example of acidic and basic flux? (i) F e O + S i O 2 → F e S i O 3 (ii) S i O 2 + M g O → M g S i O 3
Options
- A(i) S i O 2 -Acidic flux (ii) MgO-Basic flux
- B(i) S i O 2 -Basic flux (ii) MgO-Acidic flux
- C(i) S i O 2 -Basic flux (ii) MgO-Basic flux
- D(i) S i O 2 -Acidic flux (ii) MgO-Acidic flux
Correct answer
A. (i) S i O 2 -Acidic flux (ii) MgO-Basic flux
Step-by-step solution
(i) F e O b a s i c i m p u r i t y + S i O 2 a c i d i c f l u x → F e S i O 3 s l a g (ii) S i O 2 a c i d i c i m p u r i t y + M g O b a s i c f l u x → M g S i O 3 s l a g
