Answer:
The ore on heating
produces sulphur dioxide gas so it is a sulphide ore. The method used for its
concentration is "froth floatation process". After concentration of
the ore following two steps would be followed to convert it into metal.
(i) Roasting: The sulphide ore is converted into its
oxide by heating it in the presence of air.
MS +
O2
MO + SO2
(ii) Reduction
of metal oxide to metal: The oxide formed by roasting is then reduced to
metal by using a suitable reducing agent like carbon (coke).
MO
+ C M + CO
(Coke)
