LEAD INDUSTRY PROFILE In the case of lead-zinc ores, the metals are usually separated in a two-stage process. First the zinc sulphide is depressed while the lead sulphide is floated off and removed. In a separate stage further additions are made to activate the zinc ore, and it is floated off. The froths are then broken down by water sprays and the

Silver occurs uncombined, and in ores such as argentite and chlorargyrite (horn silver). However, it is mostly extracted from lead-zinc, copper, gold and copper-nickel ores as a by-product of mining for these metals. The metal is recovered either from the ore, or during the electrolytic refining of copper.

The smelting process consists in the formation of an alloy of gold with silver and lead, and is similar to that employed in extracting silver. It is applicable to ores rich in silver, and also to refractory ores containing arsenic and antimony, for which the other processes are unsuitable.

Processing. At the surface, the ore is subjected to additional crushing and fine grinding. A flotation process is used to separate the silver-bearing galena and tetrahedrite from other ore minerals and waste rock particles (tailings) to form mineral concentrates. Development of the flotation process occurred in the early days of mining at Broken Hill.

Processing. The steelmaking process starts with the processing of iron ore. The rock containing iron ore is ground and the ore is extracted using magnetic rollers. Fine-grained iron ore is processed into coarse-grained clumps for use in the blast furnace. Coal is cleaned of impurities in a coke furnace, yielding an almost pure form of carbon.

Mar 14, 2014Processing of the ore ranges from simple crushing and screening and separating various size fractions of the ore to the processes that beneficiate or upgrade the quality of the iron ore products.

The first sophisticated processing of silver ore was attributed to the Chaldeans in about 2500 B.C., who used a cupellation process to extract silver from lead-silver ores. The need for traditional silver (particularly for the flourishing Minoan and later Mycenaean civilizations) resulted in the location and exploitation of silver deposits in

Silver was first obtained in sixteenth-century Mexico by a method called the patio process. It involved mixing silver ore, salt, copper sulphide, and water. The resultant silver chloride was then picked up by adding mercury. This inefficient method was superseded by the von Patera process. In this process, ore was heated with rock salt, producing silver chloride, which was leached out with sodium hyposulfite.

It is found in group Ib of the periodic table, together with silver and gold. Copper has low chemical reactivity. In moist air it slowly forms a greenish surface film called patina; this coating protects the metal from further attack. But people that live near smelters that process copper ore into metal, do experience this kind of exposure.
