Given below are two statements:- Statement I:- In froth floatation method a rotating paddle agitates the mixture to drive air out of it. Statement II:- Iron pyrites are generally avoided for extraction of iron due to environmental reasons. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:-
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer
B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Step-by-step solution
The rotating paddle in the froth flotation process violently agitates the suspension of powdered ore in water, as well as the collectors and froth stabilisers, generating frothing. Iron pyrites are generally avoided for extraction of iron due to environmental reasons.
