Why has phytomining been used to produce gold nickel and copper but is only rarely used to produce zinc and lead?
this question came up in the AQA chemistry text book and in some exam style questions. so the answer is: Phytomining is used to produce gold nickel and copper because they are found in low grade ores the main reason is that gold, nickel and copper are below carbon in the reactivity series which means they are found in native state. (sometimes copper can be found in low grade ores) but phytomining is used rarely to produce zinc and lead is because they are more reactive than gold nickel and copper. this is why phytomining been used to produce gold nickel and copper but is only rarely used to produce zinc and lead.
