Important Points
👀Metallurgy is defined as a process that is used for the extraction of metals in their pure form.
👀The compounds of metals mixed with soil, limestone, sand, and rocks are known as minerals.
👀Metals are commercially extracted from minerals at low cost and minimum effort. These minerals are known as ores.
👀The concentration of ores:
👀Concentration is when we remove the unwanted materials like sand, dust, etc. from the ores, so we get concentrated ore full of our required metals.
- Roasting: In this process, the ore is warmed in a continuous air supply in the furnace at any temperature lower than their melting point.
Eg: 2ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 ( During Sulphide ore Roasting will be there)
- Calcination: Calcination involves heating when the volatile matter escapes leaving behind the metal oxide.
- E.g:
ZnCO3 (s) → ZnO(s) + CO2 (g) (During Carbonate ore Calcination will be there)
