What are the physical methods to enrich the ore?
Open in App
Solution
While extracting the metal from an ore, it is necessary to
remove the impurities present in ore . By removing these impurities we get a
concentrated ore which contains a high percentage of metal in it. The process of
removal of gangue particles from an ore to increase the percentage of metal in
ore is called enrichment of ore. The processes used for removing the impurities
from ores depend on the difference between physical or chemical properties of
the ore and of the impurities.
Methods of enrichment of ore:
1. Hydraulic Washing
2. Froth Floatation Proces
3. Magnetic Separation
