Question

Sulphide ores of metals are usually concentrated by froth floatation process. Which one of the following sulphide ores offers an exception and is concentrated by chemical leaching?

A. Argentite
B. Galena
C. Copper pyrite
D. Sphalerite  
Answer :   Sphalerite
Solution :
Galena $$(PbS),$$  copper pyrites $$\left( {CuFe{S_2}} \right)$$   and argentite $$\left( {A{g_2}S} \right)$$  are are concentrated by froth floatation process but sphalerite $$\left( {ZnS} \right)$$  is concentrated by chemical leaching.
