What to Focus On
- Noble metals occur in native state due to low reactivity.
- Most metals occur in combined form as oxides, sulphides, carbonates, etc.
- Mineral: Natural compound containing metal; Ore: Economically extractable mineral.
- Crushing reduces ore to smaller pieces.
- Pulverization converts ore into fine powder.
- Increased surface area enhances reaction efficiency.
- Concentration removes gangue before chemical processing.
- Gravity separation for heavy ores, magnetic for magnetic impurities.
- Froth floatation uses difference in wettability of ore and gangure.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
All metals are found as free elements in nature because they are stable.
Mineral and ore mean the same thing.
Roasting and calcination are the same process—both involve heating the ore.
Memory Tips
Difference between mineral and ore
Metals found in native form: Gold, Silver, Mercury, Platinum
Types of ores: Oxide, Sulphide, Carbonate, Halide, Silicate
Steps in metallurgy: Crushing → Concentration → Roasting/Calcination → Reduction → Refining
