Metals are generally mined in the form of ore. Ore is processed to extract the metal from the ore (known as smelting)
"Ore" is a mixture of some kind of metal that you are trying to extract, and the rock that is generally mixed in with it.
Its position on the reactivity series. The more reactive the metal, the harder it is to extract from its ore.
The most common mineral of lead is galena - PbS.
No ore contains steel. However, IRON ore, such as taconite, produces iron. When alloyed with other metals and carbon, it becomes steel.
which ore is aluminum extracted from
To refine an ore means to extract the valuable metal that is inside the ore.
Copper Ore.
gold is dissolved when it is kept in aquaregia
you extract it with a picaxe
Metals are generally mined in the form of ore. Ore is processed to extract the metal from the ore (known as smelting)
By reduction-oxidation reaction you can extract metals, including Gold, from ore.
The ore must be mined, or must be removed from the ground. Then the ore must be processed to extract the metal
A mineral that is useful and economically viable to extract and purify is an ore.
Tin is extracted from its ore by heating it with carbon or carbon monoxide.
Dolomite
To extract minerals there are three steps. These steps are mining, smelting, refining. First, the ore must be mined. Then it goes to a process where it is smelted to extract the minerals. Finally, it is refined where the mineral is purified.
