Sulphide ores are converted into oxides by

A

combination

B

reduction

C

calcination

D

roasting

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Sulphide ores are converted into oxide by roasting. It is so because extracting a metal from its oxide is easier than extracting it from its sulphide.
