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 was the first metal extracted?
aluminum
What is the extraction of metals?
First you mine the ore (typically oxides or sulfides of the desired metals), then you crush the ore, then you smelt the ore in a furnace. Some metals like aluminum must be extracted from the ore electrolytically instead of by smelting.
How do we get metals?
Metals are generally mined in the form of ore. Ore is processed to extract the metal from the ore (known as smelting)

How do you extract copper by smelting?
copper is extracted by smelting by taking the copper out and melting it down.
How do you refine silver?
Most silver is obtained from refining other metals. It's extracted through a flotation process. Then the silver itself is refined through smelting.
What does the purpose of smelting?
Smelting is for separating metals from rock (ore)

Where are metals extracted from?
Metals are extracted from various ores that are mined from underground.
