← HistoryWhich risk increases during early antimony bronze smelting?
A)Metal oxide forms prematurely
B)Eutectic melting point decreases
C)Arsenic gas poisoning exposure✓
D)Solidification shrinkage micro-cracking
💡 Explanation
Arsenic often contaminated early antimony ores; the direct reduction process releases arsine gas, therefore arsenic gas poisoning exposure increases, because volatilization occurs at smelting temperatures, rather than oxide defects or unusual melting characteristics.
