Extractive Metallurgy Minerals are naturally occurring chemical substances in the earth’s crust obtainable by mining. Out of many minerals in which a metal may be found‚ only a few are viable to be used as sources of that metal. Such minerals are known as ores. Examples: Galena‚ PbS‚ etc. It is usually contaminated with earthly or undesired materials known as gangue. The extraction and isolation of metals from ores involve the following major steps: • Concentration of the ore‚ • Isolation of the
