Whats gangue & flux?
Gangue/matrix = impurities of sand,stone particles,silica in mineral.
Flux= substances used to remove impurity(gangue).
Low fusible substance is c/d
Slag
Homogeneous mixture of 2 or more metals is c/d
Alloy
For metals having low SRP (s-block elements, Al) which type of metallurgy is opted
Electro metallurgy.
In pyrometallurgy, metals are extracted by
heating.
In hydro metallurgy, metal is extracted by
Dissolving in a suitable solvent.
Pulverisation means
Crushing/grinding. Large lumps of ore are converted into small pieces using ball mill/crusher.
Gravity separation is used for separation of
Oxide ores like Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Cu2O, SnO2
Carbonate ores like FeCO3, ZnCO3
Magnetic separation is used for separation of
Magnetic ores like magnetite (Fe3O4), pyrolusite(MnO2), chromite (FeCr2O4).
Froth floatation is used for separation of
Sulphide ores except Argentite (Ag2S).
Which method is based on adsorption phenomenon?
Froth floatation.
In froth floatation, frother used is
Pine oil
Eucalyptus oil
In froth floatation, collector used is
Sodium ethyl xanthate.
In froth floatation, froth stabiliser used is
Cresol or anniline.
Beyer’s process is for
Red bauxite (Fe impurity)
Serpeck’s method is used in extraction of
Al from white bauxite (silicon impurity).
