Explain froth flotation on process.

Answer»

Solution :This process is based on the difference in the wetting characteristics of the ORE andgangue PARTICLES with oil and water.

Powdered ore is suspended into a tank containing water. Pine oil or xanthates (collector) and aniline or cressols (stabilizer) are added. A rotating paddle agitates the mixture and DRAWS air in it. As a result froth is formed which carries the ore particles. THus METHOD is suitable for sulphide ORES.
