The most common mineral of lead is galena - PbS.
Metals are generally mined in the form of ore. Ore is processed to extract the metal from the ore (known as smelting)
The Balbach-Thum process is a method used in metal refining to extract gold and silver from ore. It involves melting the ore with lead to form a lead-silver-gold alloy, which is then treated to separate the precious metals. The process is known for its efficiency in recovering gold and silver.
the origin of lead ore is contact metamorphic origin
Lead ore is a mineral containing lead in the form of galena (lead sulfide). It is a primary source of lead and is commonly mined for industrial use such as in the production of lead-acid batteries and other lead-based products. Lead ore may also contain other valuable minerals such as silver and zinc.
Carbon is commonly used to extract iron from its ore through a process called smelting. Carbon reacts with the oxygen present in the iron ore, reducing it to metallic iron.
which ore is aluminum extracted from
To refine an ore means to extract the valuable metal that is inside the ore.
Copper Ore.
you extract it with a picaxe
Metals are generally mined in the form of ore. Ore is processed to extract the metal from the ore (known as smelting)
Lead is not an ore. Lead is a metal which is obtained by refining lead ore (or which may be a byproduct of the refinement of other metals).
the mineral with the ore of lead is galena
A mineral that is useful and economically viable to extract and purify is an ore.
Dolomite
actually you can still extract lead from lead oxide, but you need to do this experiment with carbon or other reducing agent e.g. hydrogen and with a high temperature Celsius. But the reason that you can extract the mercury from the mercury oxides exactly is the higher reactivity of the lead. higher the reactivity means more difficult to extract the metals from the ore. so it is possible for lead to extract it from the lead oxide
To extract minerals there are three steps. These steps are mining, smelting, refining. First, the ore must be mined. Then it goes to a process where it is smelted to extract the minerals. Finally, it is refined where the mineral is purified.
The method used to extract Cu from its ore depends on the nature of the ore.
