    For the extraction of Pb when impurity content is very high, then during roasting of galena, the formation of which compound (s) is/are prevented by lime -

    A)  \[PbS{{O}_{4}}\]                                

    B)  \[PbSi{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  Both [a] and [b]      

    D)  \[CaSi{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     By intermittently filled lime the blown air in the sinterer gets diffused and \[PbS\] particles come under limited supply of air therefore formation of \[PbS{{O}_{4}}\] is prevented. \[PbS+\frac{3}{2}{{O}_{2}}\to PbO+S{{O}_{2}}\] \[PbO+\underset{gangue}{\mathop{Si{{O}_{2}}}}\,\to PbSi{{O}_{3}}\] \[PbSi{{O}_{3}}+\underset{more\,basic}{\mathop{CaO}}\,\to CaSi{{O}_{3}}+\underset{less\,basic}{\mathop{PbO}}\,\]
