To solve the question, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Concentration Process The ore in question produces sulfur dioxide when heated in air, indicating it is likely a sulfide ore. The suitable method for concentrating sulfide ores is the **froth flotation method**. This method separates sulfide ores from impurities based on their hydrophobic properties, where sulfide ore particles attach to air bubbles and rise to the surface, while impurities remain submerged. ### Step 2: Describe the Conversion of Concentrated Ore into Metal Once we have concentrated the ore, we need to convert it into the metal. This involves two main steps: ...
