Question

Both Distillation and Liquation are primary thermal refining techniques, but they rely on entirely different physical properties. Which of the following pairs correctly matches the technique to its target metals?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Distillation is used for metals with exceptionally low boiling points (highly volatile), specifically Zinc, Cadmium, and Mercury. Liquation is used for metals with relatively low melting points compared to their impurities, specifically Tin, Lead, and Bismuth.
