Question
write the principle behind the following methods of refining:
- Hydraulic washing.
- Vapour phase refining.
✓
Answer
- Hydraulic washing: This is based on the differences in gravities of the ore and the gangue particles.
- Vapour phase refining: In this, the metal forms a volatile compound which on further heating at higher temperature decomposes to pure metal.
