Answer» SOLUTION :(a) Thesulphideoreparticlesarepreferentiallywettedby OIL,becomelighterandthusrisetothesurfacealongwiththefrothwhile thegangueparticlesarepreferentiallywettedbywater,becomeheavierandthussettleatthebottomofthetank. Inthisway,SULPHIDE oreparticlesareseparatedand henceconcentratedfromthegangueparticles. (B) Onlysulphideore,i.e., ZNS,isconcentratedbyfrothfloatationprocess. |
