The function of neutral flux used in the pyrometallurgy of metal extraction is to increase the _____________ of the slag ?

Correct answer: A. Fluidity

  • A. Fluidity
  • B. Basicity
  • C. Acidity
  • D. Viscosity

Explanation

A neutral flux reacts with acidic or basic impurities and helps form a less viscous molten slag. Its practical purpose is therefore to increase slag fluidity, allowing impurities to separate more easily.
