  • question_answer
    Which of the following ore is best concentrated by froth-flotation method [AIEEE 2004]

    A) Galena

    B) Cassiterite

    C) Magnetite

    D) Malachite

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here only Galena is \[PbS\] (a sulphide ore). Cassiterite is \[Sn{{O}_{2}}\] (oxide ore). Magnetite is \[F{{e}_{3}}{{O}_{4}}\] (Oxide ore) and Malachite is \[Cu{{(OH)}_{2}}.CuC{{O}_{3}}\] (Carbonate ore). The froath floatation process is used to concentrate sulphide ores, based on preferential wetting properties with froating agent and water.
