Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
This process is used when metals are required is very high purity, for specific application. For example pure Si and Ge are used in semiconductors and hence are purified by this method. Zone refining method is based on the principle that an impure molten metal on gradual cooling will deposit crystals of the pure metal, while the impurities will be left in the remaining part of the molten metal.
