Section D
23. A washer woman, while washing a miner’s, overalls, she noticed that sand and similar dirt fell to the bottom of the washtub. What was peculiar, the copper bearing compounds that had come to the clothes from the mines, were caught in the soap-suds and so they came to the top. One of her clients was a chemist, Mrs Carrie Everson. The washer woman told her experience to Mrs Everson.
Based on the above passage, answer the following questions.
(i) From the observation of washer woman, Mrs Everson devised a method of concentration of copper ore. Name the method.
(ii) What were the disadvantages of earlier methods of concentration?
(iii) What values are exhibited by washer woman?
