Chapter : 1. Metals & Non Metals
Liquation
(iii) Liquation : This process is used to concentrate the ore whose melting point is lower than that of the impurities. Stibnite, an ore of antimony, is concentrated by this method. The impure ore is heated. The ore melts and flows along the surface. The impurities are left behind.
(iv) Magnetic separation : This method is used when the magnetic properties of the ore and the impurities are different. For example, tinstone, an ore of tin, contains wolfram as an impurity that is magnetic. To remove this impurity, the ore is finely powdered to make the magnetic and the nonmagnetic particles distinctly separate. The powdered tinstone is spread on a belt moving over electromagnetic rollers in figure. The wolfram, being magnetic, is attracted and gets collected in the pot near the magnet. Tinstone falls away from the magnet.
