Question
Explain Van-Arkel method of refining.
✓
Answer
In Van-Arkel method impure metal is converted into a volatile compound which is decomposed electrically to get the pure metal. For example,
$Ti _{(s)}+2 I _{2(g)} \xrightarrow{523 K} TiI _{4(g)} \xrightarrow{1700 K} Ti _{(s)}+2 I _{2(g)}$
$Ti _{(s)}+2 I _{2(g)} \xrightarrow{523 K} TiI _{4(g)} \xrightarrow{1700 K} Ti _{(s)}+2 I _{2(g)}$
