Step-by-step solution
(i) Froth floatation method : The method has been in use for removing gangue from sulphide ores. In this process, a suspension of the powered ore is made with water. To it, collectors and froth stabilisers are added. Collectors (e.g., pine oils, fatty acid, xanthates, etc.) enhance non-wettability of the mineral particles and froth stabilisers (e.g., Cresols, aniline) stabilise the froth. The mineral particles become wet by oils while the gangue particles by water. A rotating paddle agitates the mixture and draws a
