Chemistry Worksheets Class 12 on Chapter 6 General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements with Answers - Set 3

Metallurgy is the process of extracting pure metals from their ores. Metals are extracted from their ores using methods based on their reactivity. Electrolysis is used to extract highly reactive metals from their ores, while calcination, roasting, and reduction methods are used to extract metals of medium reactivity. While roasting and refining are used to extract metals with low reactivity from their ores. Although most low reactive metals, such as gold, are found in their free state or in combination with silver and mercury (As amalgam). The concentration of ores is done prior to applying all of these methods of extraction of metals based on their reactivity. Ores are found in nature with a variety of impurities including rock particles, sand, and other impurities. These impurities in an ore are known as matrix or gauge impurities. Concentration ore refers to the removal of a matrix or gauge from the ore.
