Extraction of zinc from zinc blende is achieved by
Options
- Aroasting followed by reduction with another metal
- Belectrolytic reduction
- Croasting followed by reduction with carbon
- Droasting followed by self-reduction
Correct answer
C. roasting followed by reduction with carbon
Step-by-step solution
Extraction of Zinc from Zinc blende is achieved by roasting followed by reduction with carbon as follows Z n S + 3 2 O 2 → Δ Z n O + S O 2 Z n S + 2 O 2 → Δ Z n S O 4 → Δ Z n O + S O 2 + 1 2 O 2 Z n O + C → Δ Z n + C O
