    Describe the roles of the following:
    (i) SiO2 in the extraction of copper from copper matte
    (ii) NaCN in froth floatation process

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    (i) In the extraction of copper from copper matte, SiO2 is used to remove iron oxide as slag.

    FeO + SiO2FeSiO3

    (ii) In the froth floatation process, NaCN is used as a depressant. During separation of two sulphide ores, it selectively prevents one ore from forming froth. For example, when NaCN is added to ores containing ZnS and Pbs, it allows PbS to come with froth, but prevents ZnS from coming to froth by forming Na2[Zn(CN)4] on reaction with ZnS.
