Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flotation process in metallurgy involves separating the gangue materials from the ore by using chemicals and creating a froth layer on top of the slurry containing the ore. This froth layer can then be skimmed off, leaving behind the concentrated ore. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Options A, C, D, and E are not directly related to the flotation process.
