Ores
How is silver smelted?
Silver is refined by a process involving smelting in a furnace with lead oxide, fluxes, and a reducing agent to produce a purer alloy of silver and gold called dore. An oxidized lead residue melts away in the process.
How oxygen remove from steel?
Oxygen is removed from iron ore to produce iron which is then refined and alloyed with other metals and constituents to form steel. The oxygen is removed from the iron ore by heating it to a high temperature in the presence of carbon (and other materials) as a reducing agent. Indeed, once iron is produced in this way some processes actually blow oxygen through the iron to burn away impurities. My point here is that most steel production does not involve removal of oxygen once iron has been smelted.
How is tin obtained?
Tin mined as an ore and then smelted to produce metallic tin.

What is the name of the place where iron is made?

How do miners extract minerals from an ore?
To extract minerals there are three steps. These steps are mining, smelting, refining. First, the ore must be mined. Then it goes to a process where it is smelted to extract the minerals. Finally, it is refined where the mineral is purified.
How is silver smelted?

Why are ore smelted?
because they are
Why is copper used for drains?
One reason is because it resists corrosion and another reason is that it can easily be made into pipes for hot and cold water, oil, etc. However, compared to modern plastic materials, copper is much more expensive to use: its ore must first be mined, then the ore has to be smelted and refined into metal pipes, wires, etc. So nowadays, for drainpipes, plastic pipes are used instead of copper.
What is a rock that can be smelted to produce metal?
ore
