प्रश्न
Which of the following statements is correct about the role of substances added in the froth floation process?
(i) Collectors enhance the non-wettability of the mineral particles.
(ii) Collectors enhance the wettability of gangue particles.
(iii) By using depressants in the process two sulphide ores can be separated.
(iv) Froth stabilisers decrease wettability of gangue.
उत्तर
(i) Collectors enhance the non-wettability of the mineral particles.
(iii) By using depressants in the process two sulphide ores can be separated.
Explanation:
Collectors like sodium ethyl xanthate are added to enhance the non-wettability of sulphide ore particles.
In the concentration of galena ore, sodium cyanide is used as a depressant for zinc sulphide. \[\ce{NaCN}\] forms a complex with \[\ce{NaCN}\] and deposits on the surface of \[\ce{ZnS}\] which prevents it for the formation of Froth while \[\ce{PbS}\] forms a froth.
Thus, by using depressant, two sulphides ores can be separated.
