The froth-floatation method is used for the concentration of Sulphide ores. Oxide ores are enriched by magnetic separation.
- Ores extracted from the earth are frequently mixed with contaminants. The removal of impurities from ore is dependent on the physical and chemical characteristics of the impurities and metals. This method of removing impurities from metal ore is known as ore enrichment.
- The Froth Floatation process is used to concentrate sulphide ores, whereas magnetic separation is used to concentrate oxide ores.
- Gangue is extracted from the ore using the froth flotation process by wetting the ore with oil and the gangue with water. As a result, ore particles float over water.
- Magnetic separation is the method of separating components of mixes by attracting magnetic elements using a magnet. Magnetic separation is a method that separates non-magnetic materials from magnetic ones.
