General Principles and processes of Isolation of Elements
medium

In the extraction of aluminium 

process $X$ : applied for red bauxite to remove iron oxide (chief impurity)

process $Y$ : (Serpeck's process) : applied for white bauxite to remove $Z$ (chief impurity) then,

process $X$ and impurity $Z$ are

A

$X =$ Hall and Heroult's process and $Y = SiO _2$

B

$X =$ Baeyer's process and $Y = SiO_ 2$

C

$X =$ Serpeck's process and $Y =$ iron oxide

D

$X =$ Baeyer's process and $Y =$ iron oxide

Solution

Bayer's process is used for benficiation of red bauxite. Serpeck's process is used for benficiation of white bauxite.

Reaction to remove impurity;

$SiO _2+2 C \rightarrow Si +2 CO$
