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.

Which metals are extracted from their ores by thermal decomposition?
siliconMagnesiumIronNickelCopperGoldSilver
How are the very reactive metals high up in the reactivity series extracted from their ores?
reactive metals can often be extracted by electrolysis where there ore is disolved into a solvent and an electric current is passed through.
Why do you mine metal ores?
Metal ores are used as resources from which metals may be extracted.
How is copper extracted by phytomining?
by getting a plant and using it to get the metal closer to the surface

How is phytomining done?
Phytomining is the production of a metal crop using high-biomass plants. These crops of high concentrations of desired metals are cultivated, harvested and delivered to a furnace to produce energy and/or usable resources.
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 are metals extractive?
well basically metal is extracted using carbon monoxide
Where are metals extracted from?
Metals are extracted from various ores that are mined from underground.
What metals can be extracted from bauxite?
Aluminum is extracted from bauxite ore.
What metals is extracted from galena?
lead
How are minerals extracted from their ores?
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
What metals can be extracted from their oxides using carbon?
The first few in the reactivity series... copper, lead, platinum and silver.. Gold occurs native.
What are the important ores?
Their importance is that these ores can be extracted into metals .
