Question
NaCN is sometimes added in the froth flotation process as a depressant when ZnS and PbS minerals are expected because :
Options
A.Pb(CN)2 is precipitated while no effect on ZnS.
B.ZnS forms soluble complex Na2[Zn(CN)4] while PbS forms froth
C.PbS forms soluble complex Na2[Pb(CN)4] while ZnS forms froth.
D.NaCN is never added in froth floatation process.
Solution
ZnS + 4NaCN → Na2[Zn(CN)4] + Na2S
PbS + NaCN → No such complex formation.
PbS + NaCN → No such complex formation.
