Answer» Correct Answer - D Roasting removes easily oxidisable volatile impurities like arsenic (as `As_2O_3`) sulphur (as `SO_2`), phosphorus (as`P_4O_10`) and antimony (as `Sb_2O_3`) `4M(M=As, Sb)+3O_2to2M_2O_3uarr` `S+O_2toSO_2uarr,P_4+4O_2toP_4O_10uarr` Organic matter, moisture if present in the ore, also get expelled and the ore becomes porous . |
