Explain with equation Van-Arkel method for refining of zircnium.

Answer»

Solution :The CRUDE metal is heated in an EVACUATED VESSEL with IODINE. The metal iodide being more covalent, volatizes.
`Zr+2I_(2)rarrZrI_(4)`
The metal iodide is decomposed on a tungsten FILAMENT, electrically heated to about 1800K. The pure metal is thus deposited on the filament.
`ZrI_(4)rarrZr+2I_(2)`
