The correct statements regarding froth floatation method in metallurgy are I. Used for the purification of sulphide ores II. Used for the roasting of sulphide ores III. It is based on the relative densities of gangue and ore particles IV. It is based on the difference in the wetting properties of gangue and ore particles in frothing agent and water
Options
- AI & IV only
- BII & III only
- CII & IV only
- DI & III only
Correct answer
A. I & IV only
Step-by-step solution
The froth floatation process is used for the concentration (purification) of ores, specially sulphide ores. It is based on the principle of relative preference of wetting of gangue and ore particles in water and frothing agent. Thus, I and IV are correct.
