Question:

What is the role of adsorption in froth floatation process used especially for concentration of sulphide ores?

Answer:

Sulphide ores are concentrated by froth floatation process. The finely divided ore is added to pine oil and water. Compressed air is bubbled through the mixture. The foam formed rises to the surface on which ore particles wetted with oil are adsorbed while earthy matter settles down at the bottom.
