smelting
No, the useful metals are typically obtained from an ore through processes like mining, crushing, grinding, and smelting to extract the metal from the ore. Crystallization is a process used for purifying metals rather than extracting them from ores.

smelting
The process is called smelting. In smelting, the ore is heated to a high temperature in a furnace with reducing agents like coke or charcoal. This causes the metal to separate from the other elements in the ore, forming a molten metal that can be extracted and purified.
This is a raw material (feedstock).
The ore is mixed with other substances to form a mixture called a slag. This slag is then melted to separate the useful metal from other elements present in the ore through a process called smelting. The impurities in the ore combine with the slag, allowing the pure metal to be extracted.
The rock is called an ore. Ores are rocks that contain valuable minerals or metals that can be extracted and processed for use in various industries.
Iron and aluminum are useful metals that are obtained from their respective ores through extraction processes. Iron is typically extracted from iron ore using a blast furnace, while aluminum is extracted from bauxite ore through the Bayer process. Both metals play crucial roles in various industries due to their strength, durability, and versatility.
The process of extracting useful metal from ore is called metallurgy. It typically involves crushing and grinding the ore to separate the metal from the unwanted materials. Techniques such as smelting, leaching, and electrolysis are commonly used to extract the desired metal.
It depends on the ore. ******** Refining. Well, we can taking iron ore for example. Iron ore is one of the most common minerals in the earth' crust. Main iron ores are magnetite, hematite, limonite, iron silicate ore, iron silicate mineral, etc. Iron ore beneficiation process usually consists of three stages: they are crushing raw iron ore to small particles, grinding iron ore particles to small powders and concentrating the available iron ore. At the tertiary process, the equipments are quite different from each other for the concentrating methods are different from each other. For example, iron ore producers can choose high-intensity magnetic separation; they can also utilize low-intensity magnetic separation method.
