How do we separate two sulphide ores by Froth Floatation Method? Explain with an example.

The two sulphide ores competing with coming into the froth can be separated by adjusting the oil to the amount of water or by adding depressants such as NaCN. If we have two sulphide metals, ZnS and PbS, NaCN will prevent ZnS from coming into the froth and instead PbS will form a froth. In this way the two ores can be separated.
