The metal iodide volatize and it is decomposed on a tungsten filament, heated to about 1800 K. The pure metal is deposited on the filament.
Zone refining is used for the purification of materials used as semiconductors in electronic devices. In zone refining a molten zone is caused to travel slowly along a rod of solid
The Mond process, sometimes known as the carbonyl process, is a technique to extract and purify nickel
