Options
A.I, II and III
B.I, II and IV
C.I, III and IV
D.I, II, III and IV
Solution
Ore is heated below its melting point in a reverberatory furnace in the presence of air to convert it into its oxides. It removes easily oxidisable volatile impurities like arsenic as As2O3, antimony as Sb2O3 and sulphur as SO2. Roasting is an exothermic process; once started it does not require additional heating.
