Question
Distinguish between:
Froth floatation - Leaching
Advertisements
Solution
| Froth floatation | Leaching | |
| 1. | The froth floatation method is based on the two opposite properties, hydrophilic and hydrophobic, of the gangue and ore particles respectively. | Leaching method is based on the dissolution of ore particles in a certain solution. |
| 2. | There is no chemical reaction involved. | There is a specific chemical reaction between ore and the solution used for leaching. |
| 3. | This method involves the formation of froth from oil, water, and air bubbles together, due to the agitation. | There is no formation of froth. |
| 4. | This method is used for concentration of zinc blende and copper pyrite. | This method is used for the concentration of bauxite. |
