Hydrometallurgy - Wikipedia
Hydrometallurgy is a technique within the field of extractive metallurgy, the obtaining of metals from their ores. Hydrometallurgy involve the use of aqueous solutions for the recovery of metals from ores, concentrates, and recycled or residual materials. Processing techniques that complement hydrometallurgy are pyrometallurgy, vapour metallurgy, and molten salt electrometallurgy. Hydrometallurgy is typically divided into three general areas:

12.3: Metals and Ores - Chemistry LibreTexts
Metal ores are generally oxides, sulfides, silicates (Table \(\PageIndex{1}\)) or "native" metals (such as native copper) that are not commonly concentrated in the Earth's crust, or "noble" metals (not usually forming

RO6. Reduction of Metal Ores - Chemistry LibreTexts
Metal ores are typically salts, such as oxides, carbonates or sulfides. Conversion of these ores into metals requires oxidation/reduction reactions. That's not always the case. Some early forays into metallurgy involved
