Tellurium is typically obtained as a byproduct during the refining of metals such as copper, lead, and gold. It can be extracted from ores like tellurite and calaverite, which contain tellurium in its mineral form. The extraction process usually involves crushing the ore, followed by roasting to convert it into tellurium dioxide, and then reducing it to elemental tellurium using carbon or other reducing agents. Additionally, tellurium can be obtained through recycling processes from electronic waste and other sources.
