What rock contain enough metal to make it worth extracting?
Rock containing metal is known as ore - iron ore, copper ore, and so on. As to being worth extracting, depends on the richness of the metal deposits.
What reactions extract the copper metal from the ore?
There are two main types of reactions used for extracting copper form its ore. In one reaction, copper oxides reduced by carbon to produce carbon dioxide and pure copper. In the second reaction, Copper ore is dissolved, then reduced by iron ions to form Cu+ which forces the copper to let go of its impurities and these copper ions are then fully reduced by a chemical reaction to form Copper metal. See related links for more information about the second reaction.
What are the three stages in which copper is extracted from copper sulphate?
The first step is extracting copper from its ore, including the sulphate, to remove waste constituents like limestone and silica so that the copper and other minerals of value are concentrated into a product containing between 20 and 30 percent copper. The second step is to smelt (blast furnace with coal) or leach (reacting with an acid then using electrolysis) the product which also removes a large amount of impurity elements like iron and for sulphide ores, sulfur. The final step, refining, removes the last traces of the impurity elements and produces a copper product of 99.99 percent purity.
What are the disadvantages of extracting titanium from its or?

What are the methods of extracting copper called?
The newest method is bioleaching.
Why is recycling copper better than extracting copper ores?
First, you don't have to mine, which alters the landscape and the habitat of animals. Then, from an economical stand point, it is cheaper to recycle a metal than to mine it, process it and so on.
What is the first step in processing copper?
Extracting it from the ground.
What is the difference between native copper and copper?
Native Copper was the only source of Copper until the turn of the century. Since then extracting methods were improved, and a more popular mineral the Copper Ore was found. Now the Copper Ore is the second most used mineral in the world. Native Copper is now used mostly for decorations but can be sold for a good price.
Is there a reaction between iron and copper sulfate?
Yes. This is part of the process of extracting copper to sell.
What methods are there for extracting crude oil?
Sip it through a straw.
What name is given to the method of extracting copper from an ore using electricity?
This process is called "electrowinning" of copper.
What is the cost of extracting copper from low grade ores?
1000 dollars
What is copper recycling?
Copper recycling is to get copper from copper contained materials by ways such as extracting, separating, etc.. This is a resource-saving and environment-friendly method for us.
What is the advantages of heating copper oxide with carbon?
This is one way of extracting copper from copper (II) oxide. 2CuO + C -> CO2 + 2Cu
When did human beings first start extracting copper from the ground?
in anceint mespotamia
What name is given when extracting copper from an ore using plants?
