Definition von ore im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
Rock that contains utilitarian materials; primarily a rock containing metals or gems which -- at the time of the rock's evaluation and proposal for extraction -- are able to be separated from its neighboring minerals and processed at a cost that does not exceed those materials' present-day economic values
A natural mineral compound of the elements of which one at least is a metal (e g , copper, lead, molybdenum, zinc, gold) The term is applied more loosely to all metalliferous rock and occasionally to the compounds of nonmetallic substances and industrial minerals such as, sulphur ore In economic terms, an ore is a mineral of sufficient value as to quality and quantity that it may be mined at a profit
Rock, generally containing metallic and non-metallic minerals that can be mined and processed at a profit
Rock that can be mined for extraction of a mineral commodity under conditions that allow a profit to be made
a monetary subunit in Denmark and Norway and Sweden; 100 ore equal 1 krona a metal-bearing mineral valuable enough to be mined
A native metal or its compound with the rock in which it occurs, after it has been picked over to throw out what is worthless
A natural aggregate of one or more minerals that can be mined and profitably sold under current conditions, or from which one or more minerals can be profitably extracted
A native mineral containing a precious or useful metal or metalliferous minerals in such quantities and in such chemical combination as to make its extraction profitable or a mixture of valuable ore minerals and gangue from which at least one of the metals can be extracted for profit
material that contains one or more minerals, at least one of which can be recovered at a profit
Ore is rock or earth from which metal can be obtained. a huge iron ore mine. Oregon. A mineral or an aggregate of minerals from which a valuable constituent, especially a metal, can be profitably mined or extracted. rock or earth from which metal can be obtained. Aggregate of economically important minerals that is sufficiently rich to separate for a profit. Although more than 3,500 mineral species are known, only about 100 are considered ore minerals. The term originally applied only to metallic minerals (see native element) but now includes such nonmetallic substances as sulfur, calcium fluoride (fluorite), and barium sulfate (barite). Ore is always mixed with unwanted rocks and minerals, known collectively as gangue. The ore and the gangue are mined together and then separated. The desired element is then extracted from the ore. The metal may be still further refined (purified) or alloyed with other metals. magnetic iron ore bog iron ore hydrothermal ore deposit ore dressing
A mineral containing a valuable constituent (as metal) for which it is mined and worked
A mixture of minerals, host rock and waste material which is expected to be economically mineable
Material extracted from the Earth's lithosphere that yields metallic minerals An ore normally has two parts: the metallic mineral and waste mineral material commonly called gangue
Valuable (usually metallic) minerals that can be mined profitably Overburden: Unconsolidated rock, clay, etc Oxygen: Colourless odourless gas present in many minerals
Rock that contains an economic or profitable amount of the desired commoditysuch as gold or silver
a natural mineral deposit that contains enough valuable minerals to make it profitable to mine at the current technology
Rock that contains enough of one or more metals to be worth processing to obtain the pure metal or metals. Ore usually comes from a mine
a mixture of minerals, host rock and waste rock which is expected to be profitably mined
body of rock or a deposit of sediment that is worth mining for the economically valuable mineral it contains The term is usually applied to sources of metals
An ore is a material that contains a metal in such quantities that it can be mined and worked commercially to extract that metal The metal is usually contained in chemical combination with some other element in addition to various impurities
The mineral or aggregate of minerals from which a valuable component can be removed at a profit Workers remove ore deposits from the earths crust through mining or quarrying and then separate the useful portion from the useless mass
{i} natural combination of minerals (especially from which a metal or metals can be profitably extracted)
A kind of rock made up of different minerals that might contain useful metals, such as gold, iron, or silver If there are useful metals in the rock, it is crushed and the metals are taken out using heat, electricity or chemicals
Any treatment of an ore used to concentrate its valuable constituents (minerals) into products (concentrate) of smaller bulk, and simultaneously to collect the worthless material (gangue) into discardable waste (tailings)
Iron ore consisting of hydrated iron oxide minerals such as limonite and goethite formed by precipitation of groundwater flowing into wetlands. Bacterial action contributes to formation of the ore. Economically useful deposits can regrow within 20 years after harvesting. Bog iron was widely used as a source of iron in the past
Any concentration of metallic minerals formed by the release of solids from hot mineral-laden water (hydrothermal solution). The solutions are thought to arise in most cases from the action of deeply circulating water heated by magma. Another source of heating that may be involved includes energy released by radioactive decay
Mineral containing enough iron to be a commercially viable source of the element for use in steelmaking Except for fragments of meteorites found on Earth, iron is not a free element; instead, it is trapped in the earth's crust in its oxidized form
When they dig iron out of the ground they do not find it on it's own but as a rock mixed up with other things (such as oxygen and sulphur) This rock is called iron ore
