Question:

The correct statement is :

Show Hint

In froth flotation, cresols and aniline act as froth stabilisers. Zincite is ZnO, NaCN is used to leach silver, and Ti is refined by the van Arkel method.

  • zincite is a carbonate ore.
  • Sodium cyanide cannot be used in the metallurgy of silver.
  • aniline is a froth stabilizer.
  • zone refining process is used for the refining of titanium.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

(1) Zincite is ZnO, an oxide ore, not a carbonate (calamine ZnCO3 is the carbonate): false.
(2) Silver (and gold) are leached with dilute NaCN solution as Na[Ag(CN)2] (cyanide process): so NaCN can be used: false.
(3) In froth flotation, cresols and aniline are added as froth stabilisers: true.
(4) Zone refining is used for semiconductor-grade Ge, Si, Ga, B; titanium is refined by the van Arkel method (iodide decomposition): false.
Answer: (3) aniline is a froth stabilizer.
