Single correct option
Which of the following metal-refining method pairs is INCORRECTLY matched?
- A. Copper - Mond process
- B. Nickel - Mond process
- C. Zirconium - van Arkel method
- D. Germanium - zone refining
Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Copper - Mond process
Mond process: impure Ni reacts with CO at - to form volatile , which decomposes at - to pure Ni. van Arkel: Zr/Ti are converted to volatile iodides and decomposed on a hot tungsten filament. Zone refining is used for ultra-pure semiconductors Ge, Si, Ga. Copper is not purified by Mond process (it does not form a volatile carbonyl); blister copper is refined by poling and electrolytic refining.
