(b) zincite is a carbonate ore

(c) sodium cyanide cannot be used in the metallurgy of silver.

(d) aniline is a froth stabiliser.

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. The explanation of given statements are as follows:

(a) Zone refining process is used for the refining of B, Ga, In, Si and Ge.

Ti is refined by van Arkel method.

Thus, statement (a) is incorrect.

(b) Zincite (ZnO) is an oxide ore of Zn. Thus, statement (b) is incorrect.

(c) NaCN is used in the hydrometallurgy of silver. It is known as Mc. Arthur Forrest process.

The reactions occuring during the process are as follows:

Ag2S+4NaCN2Na[Ag(CN)2]+Na2S

4Na2S+2H2O+5O22Na2SO4+4NaOH+2S 2Na[Ag(CN)2]+ZnNa2[Zn(CN)4]+2Ag

Thus, statement (c) is incorrect.

(d) Aniline and cresol help in stabilising the froth in froth floatation process.

Thus, statement (d) is correct.
