What heats a sulfide ore roasting furnace?
ACarbon reduction of oxide
BNeutralisation of slag
COxidation of sulfide to SO2
DLimestone decomposition
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Oxidation of sulfide to SO2
Oxidising sulfide to SO2 is exothermic, so it helps sustain the high temperature of the furnace.
