Question:
Which of the following ore is concentrated using group 1 cyanide salt ?
Which of the following ore is concentrated using group 1 cyanide salt ?
Show Hint
Cyanide salts are also used in the leaching of Gold and Silver (MacArthur-Forrest process) to form soluble cyano-complexes.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Group 1 cyanide (NaCN) is used as a depressant in froth floatation.
Step 2: Sphalerite (ZnS) often contains Galena (PbS) as an impurity.
Step 3: NaCN reacts with ZnS to form a soluble complex $Na_2[Zn(CN)_4]$, preventing it from forming froth, while PbS goes to the froth.
Step 2: Sphalerite (ZnS) often contains Galena (PbS) as an impurity.
Step 3: NaCN reacts with ZnS to form a soluble complex $Na_2[Zn(CN)_4]$, preventing it from forming froth, while PbS goes to the froth.
