Types of Metallurgical Processes
Pyrometallurgy Extraction of metals takes place at very high temperature. Cu, Fe, Zn, Sn, etc.. are extracted by this method.
Bydrometallurgical process In this method, metals are extracted by the use of their aqueous solution. Ag and Au are extracted by this method.
Electrometallurgical process Na, K, Li, Ca, etc., are extracted from their molten salt solution through electrolytic method.
