Refining Methods Flashcards
refining methods
- electrolytic refining
- poling
- sweating
- cupellation
- zone refining
- chromatography
- vapour phase refining
zone refining is used for
to obtain metals with high purity
specially semiconductors
Si, Ge, B, Ga, In
principle of zone refining
impurities are mre soluble in molten part
types of vapour phase refining
- Mond’s process
2. Van Ankel’s process
mond’s process is used for
Ni
Van Ankel’s process is used for
Ti
Zr
principle of vapour phase refining
metal combines with suitable molecule > form volatile compound > then decomposed to form metal
reagant of Van Ankel’s Process
I2
reagant for Mond’s Process
Water Gas
CO + H2
synthesis gas
syn gas
complex in mond’s process
[Ni(CO)4]
Ti + I2 =
TiI4
in chromatography, tube is filled with
adsorbent material
adsorbent material forms in chromatography
stationery phase
solvent forms in chromatography
mobile phase
principle of chromatography
one is more soluble in stationery phase and another is more soluble in mobile phase
