_______________ is defined as the geometric mean of the relative rejections and the relative recoveries of two minerals?

Correct answer: B. Selectivity index

  • A. Separation efficiency
  • B. Selectivity index
  • C. Concentration ratio
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The selectivity index combines separation performance into one measure by taking the geometric mean of the relative recoveries and relative rejections of the two minerals. Separation efficiency is a different overall performance measure.
