There are 3 means of extracting metals that are used more than any others and they are:
Reduction with carbon: An ore of a metal which is less reactive than carbon is heated with carbon and the more reactive carbon will separate the metallic element from its ore e.g extraction of Iron in a blast furnace
Electrolysis: An electrical current is passed through a solution of the metal ore and the metal is split from its ore and collects at an electrode, this is done for metals more reactive than carbon
Extraction by other metals: As some metals are more reactive than the other this can be used to split up the metallic ore, an example of this is the extraction of Titanium which involves the use of several other more reactive metals.
What else can I help you with?
Which two processes account for large deposits of important metals including ores of golamd silver and copper?
Igneous processes and hydrothermal solutions
What two metals are used as nuclear fules?
Two common metals used as nuclear fuels are uranium and plutonium. Uranium is the most widely used fuel in nuclear reactors, while plutonium is used as a fuel in some types of reactors, such as fast breeder reactors.
Which are the other metals which are used as wires and why?
The two most common metals in order of preference are copper and aluminium.
What are th two methods of extraction metals from the ore?
Mining techniques can be divided into two common excavation types: surface mining (above ground) and subsurface (underground) mining. sometimes subsurface mining is also called deep mining like in my text book p.s i am in 8th grade
What metals are shiny and have one or two electrons in their outer level?
Metals that are shiny and have one or two electrons in their outer level include copper, silver, and gold. These metals are known for their luster and are often used in jewelry and decorative items due to their physical properties.
What are two main methods of metal extraction?
Some metals can just be mined since they do not form oxides or compounds, such as gold. Other metals form compounds which need further processing, such as lead and titanium. Iron ore is usually just heated until molten. This is smelting.

Igneous processes and hydrothermal solutions
What are welders used for?
Fusing two metals
Which two metals are most commonly used to make a knifes blade?
The two most common metals used to make knives are steel and iron.
Most metallic ores are produced by which two types of processes?
Most metallic ores are produced through mining and extraction processes. Mining involves the physical extraction of ore from the earth, while extraction processes such as smelting, leaching, or electrolysis are used to extract the desired metal from the ore.
Hi Does anyone know why different metals have different uses apart from the fact that they have different properties?
There are two parts to it: Supply -- how common is the metal? How easy is it to extract from its ores? Is it concentrated in a few locations or is it widely distributed? Demand -- what's it used for? Will other metals work instead, or does it have specific properties that are required?
What two metals are used as nuclear fules?
Two common metals used as nuclear fuels are uranium and plutonium. Uranium is the most widely used fuel in nuclear reactors, while plutonium is used as a fuel in some types of reactors, such as fast breeder reactors.
What two welding processes are best suited to welding high strength sheet metals used in unibody cars?
When Chrysler started building the K car they stipulated that the GMAW (MIG) process was to be used. I am guessing when I say that it still holds true. GTAW (TIG) has probably been added. It boils down to the fact that very thin metals are involved and these two processes are best suited for thin materials. Check with an auto repair shop, they should know.
Which are the other metals which are used as wires and why?
The two most common metals in order of preference are copper and aluminium.
What two metals are used to make cans?
Zinc and Tin
What are two oxygen used processes?
plants and animals.
What is Pyro metallurgical process?
The word pyro metallurgy comes from two words=pyro+metallurgy where pyro means heat and metallurgy means extracting metals from their ores ,purifying and modifying the metals for use.So Pyro metallurgy is the process of extraction of metals from their ores and their purification with the application of heat.following is the list of pyro metallurgical processescalciningroastingdryingsmeltingrefiningExamples of elemnts extracted using pyro metallurgical processes are Fe, Cu, Zn, Chromium, Tin, Manganese.
