Smelting
Smelting is a process of applying heat and a chemical reducing agent to an ore to extract a desired base metal product. [1] It is a form of extractive metallurgy that is used to obtain many metals such as iron, copper, silver, tin, lead and zinc.Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gases or …
