Answer

If the ore or the gangue can be attracted by the magnetic field, then the ore can be concentrated by the process of magnetic separation. Among the ores mentioned in table $6.1,$ the ores of iron such as haematite $(Fe_2O_3),$ magnetite $(Fe_3O_4),$ siderite $(FeCO_3),$ and iron pyrites $(FeS_2)$ can be separated by the process of magnetic separation.
