Roasting ore involves heating it in the presence of oxygen to convert it into a more favorable form for extraction of metals. The process typically includes breaking the ore into smaller pieces, mixing it with a suitable flux, and then heating it in a furnace or open flame. This process can help to remove impurities and convert metal sulfides into oxides, making the subsequent extraction (like smelting) more efficient. Proper temperature control and duration are crucial for maximizing metal recovery while minimizing losses.
