ENRICHMENT OF ORE

• Process used for removal of the “GANGUE”

• GANGUE – Soil, Sand and Earthy Impurities

Page 5: METALLURGY Metallurgy The extraction of metals from their ores and refining it is known as metallurgy.

Enrichment processes

• Hydraulic washing

Froth Floatation

Electromagnetic separation

Page 8: METALLURGY Metallurgy The extraction of metals from their ores and refining it is known as metallurgy.

Chemical Method

• Dissolve ore + Hot and Conc. NaOH

• Al2O3 + 2NaOH -> 2NaAlO2+H2O

• Filter it- add dil HCl

• NaAlO2 + 2H2 O + HCl - Al(OH)3 + NaCl

• Filter the ppt wash,dry and Ignite

• 2Al(OH)3 - Al2O3 + 3H2O

• Pure Bauxite is obtained

REDUCTION

• Conversion of concentrated ore into a more suitable form

• Roasting -- Heating the Sulphide ore in presence of air to form an Oxide ore

• 2ZnS+3O2 2ZnO + 2SO2

• Calcination -- Heating the Carbonate ore in the absence of air to form an Oxide ore

• ZnCO3- ZnO + CO2

Reduction

• Low in the reactivity series ----

• Heating ---- e.g..2HgS + 3O2 2HgO +2SO2

• 2HgO(S) - 2Hg + O2 (g)

• Middle in the reactivity series

• Heating with C (Smelting)

• ZnO + C --Zn + CO

• High up in the reactivity series Electrolytic reduction

REFINING

• LIQUATION:

Used for metals having low M.P. Pb,Sn

Metal

(low M.P.)

Impurity(High M.p.)

Hearth

Page 12: METALLURGY Metallurgy The extraction of metals from their ores and refining it is known as metallurgy.

REFINING

• DISTILLATION

• Metals used are Volatile - Hg ,Zn

• The impure metal is heated in a retort.

• The Pure metal distils over and is condensed in a receiver.

• The impurities are left behind in the retort

k

• ELECTROLYTIC REFINING

• Metals used are ---Cu,Zn,Sn,Ni,Ag,Au…

CuSO4 + H2SO4
