Solution
In roasting process, the sulphide ores are strongly heated in air to transform them into oxides. In this process, sulphide ores are oxidized to form metal oxides and sulphur dioxide gas.

Identify the process given in following passage and draw neat labelled diagram showing the process.
Electrolysis of molten mixture of alumina (melting point > 20000C) is done in a steel tank. The tank has a graphite lining on the inner side. This lining does the work of a cathode. A set of graphite rods dipped in the molten electrolyte works as anode. Cryolite (Na3AlF6) and fluorspar (CaF2) are added in the mixture to lower its melting point upto 10000C.
