Examples of Extractive metallurgy in the following topics:
-
- Extractive metallurgy refers to the different processes used to extract valuable metals from mined ores.
- Extractive metallurgy is the practice of removing valuable metals from an ore and refining the extracted raw metals into a purer form.
- Extractive metallurgists are interested in three primary streams: feed, concentrate (valuable metal oxide/sulfide), and tailings (waste).
-
- Extractive metallurgy is the study of the processes used in the separation and concentration of raw materials.
- Extractive metallurgy is the practice of removing valuable metals from an ore and refining the extracted raw metals into a purer form.
- The practice of extractive metallurgy almost always involves contributions from other scientific fields, such as analytical chemistry and mineralogy.
- Sometimes extractive metallurgy produces a finished product, but more often it produces a form that requires further physical processing.
- The field of extractive metallurgy encompasses many specialty sub-disciplines, each concerned with various physical and chemical processes that are steps in an overall process to produce a particular material.
