The above reaction represents the process of concentration of ore in the extraction of silver. This process is
- A Leaching
- B Levigation
- C Froth flotation
- D Liquation
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Leaching
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The given reaction is cyanide leaching which can be used for metals like \(\mathrm{Ag}\) and \(\mathrm{Au}\). Levigation is the process of grinding of an ore into fine powder. Froth floatation is used for sulphides of \(\mathrm{Fe}, \mathrm{Pb}\), etc and is a physical process.…
