What metals are extracted using phytomining?
nickel and thallium are extracted by phytomining. nickel was the first metal ever to be extracted by this process. boobs are cool
What organisms does phytonmining?
Plants are the organisms used for phytomining. If plants can absorbs the low concentrations of metals in soil, the metals can be concentrated in the biomass of the plants and then extracted from the plant material when harvested.
What is meant by - smelting?
Smelting is the process which ore goes through so that a metal can be extracted from it. It involves heating the rock to very high temperatures. Copper, for instance, can be extracted at temperatures of about 1200 °C.Actually, smelting is a process when a metal which is more reactive than copper needs to be extracted. For example, zinc is more reactive than copper so it has to be extracted smelting. It can be extracted by heating its ore with charcoal aka smelting.--different person
What are three examples of useful elements that are extracted from earths surface?
Iron, copper and gold :)
How can copper be extracted using scrap iron nothing it doesnt work that way?
by using the copper nothing reacts to anything further noticed, will happen than that.
How is copper extracted from phytomining?
When a plant grows it can absorb metal compounds. So when the tree has grown the plant is burnt and the copper is extracted.
How is copper extracted by phytomining?
by getting a plant and using it to get the metal closer to the surface

Can phytomining be used to extract copper?
Yes
How does phytomining work?
when certain plants grow in areas of low-grade metal ores, often copper, they absorb the metal and are later burned so that the metal can be extracted from the ash. this is a more economical way of obtaining metal when there would not be a lot to be found therefore, electrolysis being expensive and unnecessary.
What are the principle stages involving phytomining?
the growing of the plant, for example: Alpine Pennycrest, from these plants ores such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and copper through FAAS after the incineration of the leaves of the plant at 480 degrees Celsius
How do you extract copper from a low grade ore?
Through bioleaching, thermal decomposition, displacement, phytomining & electrolysis.
Why has phytomining been used to produce gold nickel and copper but is only rarely used to produce zinc and lead?
this question came up in the AQA chemistry text book and in some exam style questions. so the answer is: Phytomining is used to produce gold nickel and copper because they are found in low grade ores the main reason is that gold, nickel and copper are below carbon in the reactivity series which means they are found in native state. (sometimes copper can be found in low grade ores) but phytomining is used rarely to produce zinc and lead is because they are more reactive than gold nickel and copper. this is why phytomining been used to produce gold nickel and copper but is only rarely used to produce zinc and lead.
What is ment by phytomining?
Phytomining basically means in order to reduce metal contamination and that the metal is economically expenisve or useful in some way to extract it would amend their soil with phytoaccumulating plants.
How is copper extracted from earth?
copper is extrcted in diffrent country
What metal is extracted from autunite?
copper
