Casseterite ore consists of magnetic impurity named as:
Casseterite ore consists of magnetic impurity named as:
- A. chromite
- B. wolframite
- C. magnetite
- D. Limonite
Step-by-step solution
Cassiterite (SnO2) is the primary ore of tin. It often contains wolframite (FeWO4/MnWO4) as a magnetic impurity due to association with tungsten ores in hydrothermal deposits. Other options: chromite (FeCr2O4) is an ore of chromium, magnetite (Fe3O4) is an iron ore, and limonite (FeO(OH)·nH2O) is also an iron ore; none are typical magnetic impurities in cassiterite.
