Sylvanite
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Langbeinite process is associated with the manufacturing of K2SO4 (Potassium Sulphate) fertilize.Langbeinite is a potassium magnesium sulfate mineral with the chemical formula K2Mg2(SO4)3. Langbeinite crystallizes in the isometric-tetartoidal (cubic) system as transparent colorless or white with pale tints of yellow to green and violet crystalline masses.
Langbeinite is treated with a concentrated solution of potassium chloride to yield precipitates of potassium sulfate. The precipitates of potassium sulphate are separated from the solution by decantation.
