Methods of Ore Concentration

Flashcards covering the specific steps and materials used in methods of ore concentration such as gravity separation, froth flotation, and leaching.

The four primary methods of ore concenteration mentioned are Gravity separation, __________, Leaching, and Magnetic seperation.

Froth floatation

In Gravity Seperation, ores are finely crushed into __________ and treated with rapid flowing water.

powder

During Gravity Seperation, __________ are moved through running water while the ore remains.

Dust particles

In the Froth Floating process, finely crushed ores are added to a machine along with pine or __________ oil.

eucalyptus

Along with oils and crushed ores, __________ is added to the machine in Froth Floating and stirred until it froths.

sodium ethyl canthide

In the Froth Floating method, ores will come along the __________ on the top and dust will remain on the bottom.

oil froth

In the method of Leaching, ores are dissolved in a suitable __________ and convert into complexes.
