Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Hall- Heroult process is the electrolytic reduction of molten Al 2 O 3 dissolved in cryolite or fluorspar.

Dow's sea water process involves the isolation of Mg from sea water as MgCl 2 and then electrolytic reduction of molten MgCl 2 dissolved in CaCl 2 and NaCl.

Hoop's process is the electrolytic purification of impure aluminium. The cell has three liquid layers upper most layer containts impure Al, middle one contains fluorides of Na + , Ba 2+ and Al 3+ , lower most layer has pure Al (obtained by cathodic oxidation).

Mac-Arthur forest cyanide process is the process used for the extraction of gold and silver. Extraction of gold and silver involves leaching the metal with CN – . The metal is later recovered by displacement method.
