silver processing, preparation of the ore for use in various products. Silver has long been valued for its white metallic lustre, its ability to be readily worked, and its resistance to the corrosive effects of moisture and oxygen. The lustre of the pure metal is due to its
Gravity methods use the difference in the density of minerals as the concentrating agent. In heavymedia separation (also called sinkandfloat separation), the medium used is a
The common goldsilver ore extraction process has the following types: 1. Flotation + Flotation concentrate cyanidation. The sulfide ore containing gold, silver and
Examples: Silver, gold etc. Oxidized ore: These contain oxides or oxysalts, i.e. carbonates, phosphate and silicate of metal. Examples: Oxide ores
In this method, the powdered ore is treated certain reagents in which the ore is soluble but the impurities are not soluble. The impurities left undissolved are
Concentrating ore is a method of removing gangue particles and other impurities. Alternative names for ore concentration include oredressing and benefaction.
The principle of tin smelting is the chemical reduction of tin oxide by heating with carbon to produce tin metal and carbon dioxide gas. In practice, the furnace feed contains the tin
Concentration, dressing, or beneficiation of ores is the process of removing undesirable particles from ore. There are various steps to it. The variations in physical
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will
Calcination: A thermal treatment method where a limited supply of air is applied to the ores to bring about thermal decomposition. Roasting: In this process the sulfide ores are heated to a high temperature in presence of air. Smelting: In this process heat is applied to the ore in order to extract the base metals like silver (Ag),
The method of chemical activation developed at the JSC “Institute of Metallurgy and Ore Beneficiation” makes it possible to isolate iron and nonferrous metals into separate, middling products and to concentrate noble metals in the cake at the first stage. The method of extracting gold and silver developed and described in this article
The possibility of extraction of metals from ores of different genesis, containing lowdimensional structures of rare and noble metals, increases their commodity value and, in a deficit for some types of metals, leads to the need to search and develop new naturelike technologies, which can be used to extract from ores of different genesis
Many important metals are present in nature combined with sulfur as metal sulfides; these include cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel, silver, and zinc. In addition, gold and platinum group metals are
Another method is the flotation process, used commonly for copper sulfide ores. In certain cases (as when gold, silver, or occasionally copper occur free, i.e., uncombined chemically in sand or rock), mechanical or ore dressing methods alone are sufficient to obtain relatively pure metal. Waste material is washed away or separated by
In this method, the powdered ore is treated certain reagents in which the ore is soluble but the impurities are not soluble. The impurities left undissolved are removed by filtration. Leaching method is used for concentrating ores of aluminium, silver, gold etc. For example: a) The ore of aluminium, bauxite, is concentrated by this method.
Concentration of ore is the process used to extract useful minerals by separating the gangue particles. Concentration of ore can be done by 4 methods: Hydraulic Washing, Magnetic Separation, Froth
The ore is first ground into fine pieces and then passed on a conveyor belt passing over a magnetic roller. The magnetic ore remains on the belt and the gangue falls off the belt. Froth Flotation Method: This
Concentration, dressing, or beneficiation of ores is the process of removing undesirable particles from ore. There are various steps to it. The variations in physical characteristics of the existing metal complex and that of the gangue are used to separate the needed material from the ore. Gangue is a mineral that contains undesirable elements.
This is a method of metal or metal compound extraction from an ore through pretreatments that involve the use of a leaching agent, separation of impurities and precipitation. It is used in the extraction of uranium, gold, zinc, silver and copper from lowgrade ores .
methods with emphasis on how they take advantage of ore physical properties to achieve separation. In addition, developments of these methods with growing technology is also presented. 1. Introduction. Extractive processes done on ores after mining activities are smelting, hydrometallurgy, floatation and electrotechnologies.

Notes 2 CHEMISTRY MODULE 6 Occurrence and Extraction of Metals Chemistry of Elements z list and explain various methods for concentration of ores (gravity separation, magnetic separation, froth floatation and chemical method); z explain different metallurgical operations : roasting, calcination and smelting with suitable examples; z

Underground mining occurs if the ore grade or quality is sufficient to justify more targeted mining. The roomandpillar method involves extracting the ore by carving a series of rooms while leaving pillars of ore to support the mine roof. 7.1.2 Beneficiation Precious metals may be recovered from the gold ore or from refining processes of base
Hydrometallurgy. Metallurgy consists of three general steps: (1) mining the ore, (2) separating and concentrating the metal or the metalcontaining compound, and (3) reducing the ore to the metal. Additional processes are sometimes required to improve the mechanical properties of the metal or increase its purity.
varied quantities of base metals including silver, copper, zinc and nickel. Some precipitate formed because of metasomatism process, while mechanically concentrating produce sediment placer which is divided into two categories namely primary sludge and sediment placer (2). Gold ore containing silver (1015%), less copper, iron,
A method of concentrating a chromite containing ore, said method comprising grinding the chromite containing ore to a fineness where 7073% of the ground ore is of a size below 0.074 mm., dispersing the ground ore with sodium silicate in an alkaline medium which is at a pH of 11.5 to form a pulp; selectively flocculating the gangue in the ore by
