The powdered ore is agitated with water or washed with running stream of water The heavy ore particles and lighter impurities are separated. This method of concentration is known as:

  • A. metallurgy
  • B. leaching
  • C. gravity separation
  • D. forth floatation process

Step-by-step solution

Gravity separation is a method where powdered ore is agitated with water or washed with a running stream. Heavy ore particles settle while lighter impurities are washed away, as described in the question.
