Question
Write scientific reason.
Pine oil is used in froth flotation.
Solution
- Pine oil is hydrophobic.
- The particles of the metal sulphide ores which are hydrophobic get wetted by pine oil.
- They float with the foam on the surface of water.
- Thus, by using this property some ores which contain hydrophobic particles in them can be concentrated by froth floatation process.
Hence, pine oil is used in froth floatation.
