Mineral & Metallurgy
Mineral & Metallurgy
The relationship between ores and metallurgical applications is mainly reflected in the two key links of ore dressing and metal smelting. Ore dressing refers to the use of differences in the physical or chemical properties of minerals to separate useful minerals from gangue minerals, remove or reduce harmful impurities, and improve the grade of useful components in the ore. Metal smelting is the process of extracting metal elements from ores and making them into metals or alloys through a series of physical and chemical processes. The purpose of smelting is to provide various metal materials to meet the society’s demand for metal materials and support the development of industry, science and technology, and life.
