METALLURGY
1. What is Metallurgy?
2. What is Alloy and name the elements in Bronze.
3. Name some elements which are available in nature in Free State (native).
4. What is minerals and Ore.
5. The most common element in the earth crust is Al.
6. Oxygen and sulphur is in16th group and called Chalcogens Family
7. Name the metals which are so reactive (High reactivity) that they are not found in nature in free state.
8.
High reactivity K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al
Moderate Reactivity Zn, Fe, Sn, Pb, Cu
Less reactivity Ag, Au, Pt, Hg
9. Name the stages involved in the extraction of metals f4rom its ores.
10. The unwanted rocky materials as impurities like sand and clay in concentration or dressing of ore is
called as gangue.
11. Write the types of methods used in Enrichment (Concentration of the ore?.
12. When the hand picking methods used in concentration of the ore?
13. Why froth floatation is mainly useful for Sulphide ores? What is the role of pine oil?
14. Explain the Magnetic Separation method.
15. Explain the Froth Floatation process.
16. What is active series?
17. Generally extraction of metals from its ores reduction methods is used by heating with C, or CO.
18. Why, it is not feasible for reduce the ore for the metals in top of active series.
19. Why the electrolysis of their aqueous solutions also in not feasible for the metals in the top of active
series?
20. What is the only method available to extract the metals in the top of the active series?
21. Generally the metals in the middle of the activity series available in Sulphides or carbonates in
nature.
22. To which form Sulphides or Carbonates to be converted before extraction of metals, why?
23. What is auto (self) reduction of sulphide ores? Explain with example.
24. What is Thermite process? Mention its application in daily life.
25. What is refining. Write some refining methods.
26. Explain a) Distillation b) Poling c) Liquation d) Electrolytic refining
27. What is anode mud and write the uses of it?
28. What is the difference between roasting and calcinations? Give one example for each.
29. What is gangue and slag?
30. Draw the diagram showing 1) froth floatation 2) Magnetic separation.
31. Draw a neat diagram of reverberatory furnace and label it neatly?
32. What is corrosion and write the methods to prevent it.
33. Explain the arrangement of hearth and fire box in Blast furnace, reverberatory furnace and retort
furnace.
34. Corrosion
Iron Iron Oxide Reddish brown
Sliver Sliver Sulphide black
Copper, Bronze Copper Carbonate Green
35. Write the ores of some common metals.
36. Write an activity to show that air water in necessary for corrosion.
