Question
Which of the following ores are concentrated by froth floation?
(i) Haematite
(ii) Galena
(iii) Copper pyrites
(iv) Magnetite
Solution
(ii) Galena
(iii) Copper pyrites
Explanation:
Sulphide ores like galena \[\ce{(PbS)}\] and copper pyrites \[\ce{(CuFeS2)}\] are concentrated by froth floatation.
