Question

- A student has chosen magnetic separation method for the
concentration of Haematite ore. Pridict the reason for his
choice.​

Answer 1

It is because hematite is the iron ore & we do magnetic sepration method only for the substance which are made up of iron or have iron content in it.

Answer 2

The student has chosen the magnetic separation method for the concentration of haematite ore because -

• The ore concentration is a process where the necessary metal or mineral is seperated from the unwanted materials present in the ore.

• Now,the haematite is an ore of the iron metal which is a ferromagnetic metal.

• And,we know that ferromagnetic metals are easily attracted by the magnets.

• That's why the student has chosen the magnetic seperation method to perform the job without any problem.
