Ore concentration by froth floatation utilises the ______________ of ore particles ?

Correct answer: B. Wetting characteristics

  • A. Density difference
  • B. Wetting characteristics
  • C. Terminal velocities
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Froth flotation separates particles according to their different surface wettabilities: hydrophobic particles attach to air bubbles and rise with the froth. Density difference is the basis of gravity separation, not flotation.
