Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.14QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
How to obtain zinc from sphalerite has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Sphalerite (ZnS): Sphalerite is a common mineral and it contains huge amount of zinc also sphalerite is very important ore for production of zinc. The common method used to obtain zinc from its ore is blast furnace.
Blast furnace: A blast furnace is a special kind of metallurgical furnace used for smelting to get industrial metals and their alloys. In this process hot air forced up the furnace from bottom and which plays major role. This process is mostly used for the extraction of iron ore.
