How do you extract gold from ore?
Gold is formed independently from rocks so unlike iron or copper there is no 'ore' to extract it from. In general gold is acquired by finding nuggets in rocks. The gold is simply chipped off from the rock. It is extremly difficult if not impossible to extract the small traces of gold that can be found in many rocks and as far as i am aware no commercial technique for acccquiring such gold.
What is the difference between a copper rich ore and a low grade ore?
Copper rich ores contain Relatively large amount of copper. Copper obtained from rich ores is from better quality than low-grade ores. A low-grade ore doesn't contain very high proportion of valuable copper
What happens if water is added to a copper ore?
The copper will explode ??? * it gets wet * the copper ore goes through several stages of hydration as the water is absorbed, changing its crystal structure. This is a form of structural change but I've never seen it explode.
What metal is produced by heating ore?
Heating ore usually produces metal in its pure form through a process called smelting. The type of metal produced depends on the ore being heated - common metals produced include iron from iron ore, copper from copper ore, and aluminum from bauxite ore.
How was mercury used in the mining process?
At time mercury was used to extract metallic gold from gold ore. The ore was crushed to powder, and washed over a copper sheet covered in mercury. The gold would combine with the mercury, and be recovered by distilling the mercury. This was very dangerous due to the poisonous nature of mercury- and it only captured about 15% of the gold. It is no longer used in gold mining.
Where do you extract copper?
Copper Ore.
Is copper obtained from copper ore pure?
After the initial smelting to extract copper from the ore it still has to go through electroplating purification.

Describe the method of purification of copper?
The method used to extract Cu from its ore depends on the nature of the ore.
What are the uses of ORe?
Ore, as in rocks which contain sufficient metal to extract and it is economical to do so. Ores include bauxite, a copper ore. Ores can be used to extract precious metals which in turn can be used for electrical wiring, in the case of copper or as a catalyst, in the case of Haematite, Iron ore (the haber process).
Can you get gold from copper mineral?
many, but not all, copper ore deposits also contain gold
What type of mining is used to extract veins of ore deposits from the ground?
Vein mining is used to extract ore deposits from the ground. This method involves following a mineralized vein and extracting the ore from it by digging underground tunnels to access the vein. It is commonly used for minerals such as gold, silver, and copper.
How can gold mining be poisonous?
Highly toxic cyanide is used to extract gold ore.
Which metal out of copper and iron is the easiest to extract from it's ore?
yes, it is quite easy to remove cu from its ore because cu is less reactive so less energy is required i.e.it can be removed from its ore by just heating its ore in air for two to three times.
What is the difference between a copper rich ore and a low grade ore?
Copper rich ores contain Relatively large amount of copper. Copper obtained from rich ores is from better quality than low-grade ores. A low-grade ore doesn't contain very high proportion of valuable copper
How do you call someone who digs for metal ore in the ground?
A person who digs for metal ore in the ground is typically called a miner. Miners extract various types of metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron from the earth for industrial use.
What is a person who digs for metal ore in the ground?
A person who digs for metal ore in the ground is called a miner. Miners extract ores like copper, iron, gold, and silver by breaking rock and retrieving the valuable minerals contained within.
