விடையைக் காட்டு & விளக்கம்

விடை: (D) Smelting

விளக்கம்

In smelting (e.g. iron in a blast furnace), the metal is reduced and collected in molten form.

  • (A) தவறு

    Wrong: heating ore in air below melting point.

  • (B) தவறு

    Wrong: heating in limited/no air to remove volatiles.

  • (C) தவறு

    Wrong: a concentration method for sulphide ores.

  • (D) சரி
