Refining of tin can be done by :
Open in App
Solution
The correct options are
B liquation
C electrorefining
D poling
Poling is a method employed in the purification of copper which contains copper oxide as an impurity and also in the purification of tin ("Sn") which contains tin oxide (stannic oxide or "SnO2") as an impurity. It was the use of these greenwood poles gave rise to the term "poling."
Liquation is suitable for metals with low melting points, for example, tin. In this process, we heat the impure metal and then we let it flow on a sloped surface. The impurities will remain behind and the pure metal will collect at the bottom of the slope.
Electrorefining, producing pure tin from waste materials in cheap acid electrolytes can be effectively operated with parameters set to provide for the stability of the solution and high current efficiencies and the use of the periodical current reversal (PCR) technique.
Cupellation is a refining process in metallurgy where ores or alloyed metals are treated under very high temperatures and have controlled operations to separate noble metals, like gold and silver, from base metals, like lead, copper, zinc, arsenic, antimony, or bismuth, present in the ore.
Cupellation is used for purifying of metal under high temperature. so it is not suitable for tin(low melting point metal).
