Solution
The correct option is D van-Arkel method van Arkel method is used for the refining of zirconium or titanium. For example crude zirconium is converted to volatile zirconium tetraiodide and then decomposed on a thungsten filament to pure metal Zr+2I2→ZrI4
ZrI4→Zr+2I2
The scheme for the purification of Ti is as given below.
