Answer:
The Zinc Oxide is passed through a column of coke in the unheated part of the vertical retort to form Zinc.
Explanation:
In modern vertical retort process, the Zinc Oxide is passed through externally-heated Vertical retorts whereby the Zinc ore is melted.
Due to the heat, the Zinc Oxide turns into vapor.
From here, it's passed through columns of coke in the unheated parts of the retort whereby the Zinc Oxide is reduced to Zinc metal.
The reduced ore ascends in form of Zinc vapor and its cleaned by a certain amount of Zinc that has condensed.
