NaCN is sometimes added in the front loatation process as a depressant when ZnS and PbS minerals are expected because

Answer»

`Pb(CN)_(2)` is precipitated while no effect on ZnS
ZnS forms SOLUBLE complex `Na_(2) Zn(CN)_(4)]` while Phs COMES out with froth
PbS forms soluble complex `Na_(2) [Pb(CN)_(4)]` while ZnS comes out with froth
NaCN is never added in froth floatation process

Solution :In the CONCENTRATION of Galena ore NaCN is added as depresent for Zns, NaCN forms layer of Zinc complex `Na_(2)[Zn(CN)_(4)]` on the surface of ZnS and prevent it from the formation of froth and Pbs forms froth.

NaCN is added in froth floation process process with ZnS and PbS minerals because

Answer»

`Pb(CN)_2` is precipitated while no effect on ZnS
ZnS forms soluble complex while PbS forms froth
it ACTS as a depressant
NaCN is never ADDED in froth FLOATATION process.

Solution :`NaCN` acts as a depressant when `ZnS, PbS` are present in the mineral. ZnS forms soluble complex `Na_(2)[ZN(CN)_(4)]` and PbS forms froth.
