Question 1

In froth flotation, what is the primary role of a 'collector' reagent such as Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX)?

To selectively adsorb onto the target mineral surfaces and render them hydrophobic To stabilize the air bubbles and form a stable froth at the top of the cell To deactivate the surface of unwanted minerals to prevent them from floating To alter the pH of the slurry to ensure optimal chemical activity of other reagents

Correct Answer:

To selectively adsorb onto the target mineral surfaces and render them hydrophobic

Question 2

According to Bond's Law of Comminution (Work Index), the energy required to crush or grind ore is proportional to what parameter?

The difference between the square roots of the feed size and product size The difference between the reciprocals of the square roots of the product size and feed size The logarithm of the ratio of feed size to product size The difference between the surface areas of the feed and product particles

Correct Answer:

The difference between the reciprocals of the square roots of the product size and feed size

Question 3

In mineral processing, what is the operating principle of a Wilfley table?

Separating particles based on differences in density using a reciprocating deck and film flow Separating particles by magnetic susceptibility using high-intensity magnets Classifying particles by size using centrifugal force in a wet cyclone Concentrating minerals by differences in surface chemistry using air bubbles

Correct Answer:

Separating particles based on differences in density using a reciprocating deck and film flow

Question 4

Which of the following minerals is considered strongly ferromagnetic and is typically separated using low-intensity magnetic separators (LIMS)?

Magnetite Hematite Chalcopyrite Quartz

Correct Answer:

Magnetite

Question 5

What is the stoichiometric chemical equation that represents the cyanidation of gold, commonly known as Elsner's Equation?

4Au + 8NaCN + O2 + 2H2O -> 4Na[Au(CN)2] + 4NaOH 2Au + 4NaCN + H2O -> 2Na[Au(CN)2] + NaOH + H2 Au + 2NaCN + H2O -> Na[Au(CN)2] + NaOH + 0.5H2 4Au + 8NaCN + 2H2O -> 4Na[Au(CN)2] + 4NaOH + H2

Correct Answer:

4Au + 8NaCN + O2 + 2H2O -> 4Na[Au(CN)2] + 4NaOH
