Solution

The correct option is D Van Arkel method

Titanium and zirconium are refined by vapour phase refining called Van Arkel method. Nickel is refined by Mond’s process.

Van Arkel Method for refining zirconium or titanium: This method is very useful for removing all the oxygen and nitrogen present in the form of impurity in certain metals like Zr and Ti. The crude metal is heated in an evacuated vessel with iodine. The metal iodide being more covalent, volatilises.

The metal iodide is decomposed on a tungsten filament, electrically heated to about 1800 K. The pure metal is thus deposited on the filament
