Why Carbonate and sulphide ores are usually converted into oxides during the process of extraction?

It is easier to obtain a metal from its oxide as compared to its sulphides and carbonates. So the metal sulphides & carbonates must be converted to metal oxides to ease the extraction

What is the difference between isolation an extraction?
Isolation is the process of the seperation of the two metals but extraction is the process in which we get the desired metal from the concentrate.(in general we can say from the minerals and ores)
Why is high pressure an important part of the oil extraction process?
High pressure is an important part of the oil extraction process because it squeezes the oil out of places that are hard to access.
Could sodium chloride and potassium nitrate be separated using extraction?
Extraction has no meaning as a specific, particular process. The question makes no sense.
Where does molten carbonate come from?
Sodium carbonate can be made by the Solvay process from brine (sodium chloride) and limestone (calcium carbonate). In the US there are large deposits of a mineral called Trona which is sodium bicarbonate carbonate, and it is obtained from that. Potassium carbonate is made by electrolysis of potassium chloride which is found as mineral Sylvite, which gives potassium hydroxide which is then carbonated with CO2. See wikipedia entries for Solvay Process, Trona, and Potassium Carbonate
What is the process for extracting essential oils called?
You think probable to solvent extraction.
Does sulfur have ores?
yes , sulphur have ores. such ores are called sulphide ores. these sulphide ores are purified by the process called roasting. this is the process which involves heating with oxygen and then reducing into original metals. eg: copper sulphide, zinc sulphide, etc.
Name the process used to concentrate a sulphide ore?
froth floatation process
Which process is done to separate lead sulphide?

What is the process for natural gas extraction?
The process for extracting natural gas is hydraulic fracturing also referred to as "fracking". In this process rock is drilled in to deep enough to hit the natural gases, and pump them for extraction.
Why is high pressure an important part of the oil extraction process?
High pressure is an important part of the oil extraction process because it squeezes the oil out of places that are hard to access.
