when certain plants grow in areas of low-grade metal ores, often copper, they absorb the metal and are later burned so that the metal can be extracted from the ash. this is a more economical way of obtaining metal when there would not be a lot to be found therefore, electrolysis being expensive and unnecessary.

What is an advantage of phytomining compared to the traditional method?
lolo
What is ment by phytomining?
Phytomining basically means in order to reduce metal contamination and that the metal is economically expenisve or useful in some way to extract it would amend their soil with phytoaccumulating plants.
How is phytomining done?
Phytomining is the production of a metal crop using high-biomass plants. These crops of high concentrations of desired metals are cultivated, harvested and delivered to a furnace to produce energy and/or usable resources.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of phytomining?
The advantage of phytomining is that it saves using high grade ores. However the disadvantage is that this is a long process.
How is copper extracted by phytomining?
by getting a plant and using it to get the metal closer to the surface
Why is bioleaching and phytomining important?
They are cheaper alternatives to processes such as electrolysis and are better for the environment
