Extraction of metal from the ore cassiterite involves
- A carbon reduction of an oxide ore
- B self-reduction of a sulphide ore
- C removal of copper impurity
- D removal of iron impurity
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) removal of iron impurity
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The important ore of tin is cassiterite \(\left(\mathrm{SnO}_2\right)\). Tin is extracted from cassiterite ore by carbon reduction method in a blast furnace. \(\mathrm{SnO}_2+2 \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{Sn}+2 \mathrm{CO}\)
The product often contain traces of iron which is removed by blowing air through the melt to oxidise to \(\mathrm{FeO}\) which then floats to the surface.
\(2 \mathrm{Fe}+\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{FeO}\)

Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several countries. Ores of copper include chalcanthite \(\left(\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)\), atacamite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{OH})_3\right)\), cuprite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)\), copper glance \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\right)\) and malachite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2(\mathrm{OH})_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\right)\). However, 80\% of the world copper production comes from the ore chalcopyrite \(\left(\mathrm{CuFeS}_2\right)\). The extraction of copper from chalcopyrite involves partial roasting, removal of iron and self-reduction.
