Metallurgy

The document discusses the key steps involved in the extraction of metals from ores: 1) Concentration of the ore which includes physical separation techniques like gravity separation and magnetic separation as well as chemical separation techniques like leaching. 2) Conversion of the concentrated ore into a suitable form for reduction, which involves processes like calcination and roasting. 3) Reduction of the metal from the concentrated and treated ore. It provides some examples of common ores and concentration techniques.
