25
what are the 4 steps involved in extraction of metals
step 1 - dressing of the ore step 2 - conversion of conc. ore to its oxide step 3 - reduction of metallic oxides to its metals step 4 - electro-refining of impure metal
25
what are the methods used in extraction of metals step 1 process
~> hydrolytic method ~> magnetic separation ~> froth flotation method ~> chemical method
26
what are the methods used in extraction of metals step 2 process
> roasting > calcination
27
what are the methods used in extraction of metals step 3 process
* reduction by - electrolysis * reduction by - reducing agents * reduction by - thermal decomposition
28
reason for step 1 process
to convert impure ore to pure conc ore
29
reason for step 2 process
to convert the pure conc ore to its oxide - since oxides are easy to reduce
30
reason for step 3 process
to obtain impure metal from metallic oxide by reduction
31
reason for step 4 process
to obtain metal in its very pure form
32
_________________ depends on the position of the metal in the activity series of metals
method of reduction
33
which method is known as gravity separation method
hydrolytic method
34
separation of ore and gangue in hydrolytic method is due to
difference in density of particles
35
principle of separation of hydrolytic method
ores- denser- settles in grooves gangue - lighter-washed down by water
36
magnetic separation involves separation of
-- magnetic ORE from non magnetic GANGUE or -- non magnetic ORE from magnetic GANGUE or
37
explain the process of magnetic separation
=>the powdered ore is placed in conveyor belt => the MAGNETIC PARTICLES attracted to the magnetic wheel- separate from the non magnetic particles
38
froth flotation involves separation of ore and gangue by
preferential wetting
39
explain the process of froth flotation method
a tank containing the ore _ oil and water is agitated with air. the ore separates above as a foam.
40
name : 1. process of heating the conc. ore in the PRESENCE OF EXCESS AIR to a high temp. before it is reduced to a metal 2. process of heating the conc. ore in LIMITED SUPPLY OF AIR or ABSENCE OF AIR at a room temp. just below its m.p or not sufficient to melt the ore
1. ROASTING 2. CALCINATION

2ZnS + 3O2 -->
2ZnO + 2SO2
42
2FeS2 + 11O2 -->
2Fe2O3 + 8SO2
43
ZnCO3 -->
ZnO + CO2
44
FeCO3 -->
FeO + CO2
45
On heating ZnCO3 [ zinc carbonate a residue of __________ is formed which is _______ when hot and __________ when cold
zinc oxide [ ZnO] , yellow, white
46
what are metals which gets reduced in the electrolysis step 3 of extraction of metals
reduction of K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al [ are top at activity series]
47
what are metals which gets reduced in the reducing agents in step 3 of extraction of metals
reduction of Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu
48
what are metals which gets reduced in thermal decomposition step 3 of extraction of metals
reduction of Hg, Ag
49
why are the metals from K to Al is used for electrolysis step 3 of extraction of metals ?
- are most electropositive - have more affinity for o2 - metallic oxides cannot be reduced by reducing agents but can be reduced by ELECTROLYSIS
50
why are the metals from Zn to Cu is used to reduce by reducing agents in step 3 of extraction of metals ?
- are less electropositive - have less affinity for o2 - metallic oxides can be reduced by reducing agents such as CO, H2.
51
why are the metals from Hg to Ag is used for thermal decomposition in step 3 of extraction of metals ?
- are least electropositive - least affinity for o2 - metallic oxides can be reduced by HEAT ALONE.
52

Cu + CO
56
CuO + H2 -->
Cu + H2O
57
2HgO --->
2Hg + O2
58
2Ag2O --->
4Ag + O2
59
which ore is used in step 1 of extraction of ALUMINIUM
Bauxite
60
What is chemical method ?
separation of ore and gangue by using chemicals such as NaOH
61
which method is used in step 1 of extraction of ALUMINIUM
chemical method using conc. soln. of NaOH.
62
Which process is used in step 1 of extraction of ALUMINIUM
BAEYER'S PROCESS
63
CONVERSION in step 1 of extraction of ALUMINIUM
Impure bauxite to pure alumina
64
give the products to the reactions when Amphoteric oxide [ impure bauxite ] reacts with base [ NaOH ] at 150 degree C
it gives out salt [ NaAlO2 ] And Water
