Levigation takes advantage of the difference in the __ of the ore and the gangue particles.

Open in App
Solution

Finely pulverized (powdered) ore is treated with a stream of water such that the lighter gangue particles are washed away leaving behind the heavier ore particles. This is particularly applicable for heavier ores like Cassiterite and Haematite.

The schematic setup is enabled to take advantage of the difference in the specific gravity of ore and gangue particles.
