METALS ARE VERY IMPORTANT MATERIALS IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES

METALS ARE VERY IMPORTANT MATERIALS IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES

How are metals extracted from mineral ores? What methods to be use? How do we extract and make iron, steel, other alloys, aluminium, sodium, copper, zinc, titanium and chromium? The six linked pages include an introduction to metal extraction or metal manufacture and production. There are detailed notes on the extraction of iron and its conversion to steel. The extraction and manufacture of aluminium and sodium are described. The extraction, smelting and purification of copper is covered and similarly notes on the extraction of zinc, titanium and chromium. How to extract a metal is one technological issue, but finally some economic and environmental Issues and metal recycling are discussed as a result of metal extraction. Below is the index of revision notes on extraction procedures and theory, so, scroll down for revision notes on extraction procedures and theory which should prove useful for school/college assignments/projects on ways of extracting metals from their ores.
