Which of the following ores are concentrated by froth flotation?
Analysing the options:
Option (A):
Haematite is a common iron oxide compound with the formula, Fe2O3. It is not a sulphide ore. So, it is not concentrated by froth floatation method
Option (B):
Galena is also known as the Lead glance. It is present in the form of Lead (II) Sulphide, PbS. It is a sulphide ore. So, it can be concentrated by the froth floatation method.
Option (C):
Copper pyrites (CuFeS2) is an ore of sulphide. So, it can be separated by froth floatation method.
Option (D):
Magnetite is iron ore, with the chemical formula Fe3O4. It is not a sulphide ore. So, it is not concentrated by froth floatation method.
Hence correct options are (B) and (C).
