why are ores concentrated
Answers
here's your answer ⭐
It is based on the difference in gravity of the particles of the gangue and the ore. So, it is considered as a type of gravity separation. During this process, an upward stream of running water is used to wash the powdered ore. The lighter gangue particles are washed leaving the heavier ore particles.

Why Are Ores Concentrated... ?
Ore concentrate:-
concentrate is the product generally produced by metal ore mines. The raw ore is usually ground finely in various comminution operations and gangue (waste) is removed, thus concentrating the metal component.
[1] The concentrate is then transported to various physical or chemical processes called hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy smelters, and electrometallurgy where it is used to produce useful metals.
[2]Ore concentrates are classified as a hazardous cargo for shipping by the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code, which is part of the SOLAS Convention, due to their tendency under certain conditions, to liquefy, which may affect the stability of the ship due to the free surface effect potentially causing a ship to capsize. Special measures are required by the code in order to safely transport concentrates.
