Steps involved in Extraction of metals Winner Science
28/07/2012 There are different steps involved in extraction of metals. Let us discuss them one by one: 1. Crushing and Grinding. First of all, ores are crushed into a fine powder in big jaw crushers and ball mills. This method is called pulverization. 2. Concentration (Dressing) of ores. The technique of removing gangue, the rocky impurities like Sio 2 present in an ore, is called concentration of an ore ...

3.2.7 Extraction of Metals - Principles of metal extraction
Very few metal ores occur in a pure enough form to be used directly in the extraction process. The first stage is to separate the useful ore from the rock. This may not be necessary in some cases, for example, the extraction of iron, but essential in the extraction of aluminium. This separation may be physical, such as floatation, or chemical such as digestion of the required compound in a ...
