Correct Answer - D
van Arkel method is used for refining of zirconium or titanium.
In this method crude metal is heated in an evacuated vessel with iodine .
`underset("Impure")(Zr) + 2I_(2) overset(Delta)to ZrI_(4)`
The metal iodide is decomposed on tungsten filament, and pure metal is deposited on the filament .
`ZrI_(4) overset(Delta) to underset("Pure")(Zr) +2I_(2)`
