smelting: Process by which a metal is obtained from its ore, either as the element or as a simple compound, usually by heating beyond the melting point, ordinarily in the presence of reducing agents such as coke or oxidizing agents such as air (see oxidation-reduction). A metal whose ore is an oxygen compound (e.g., iron, zinc, or lead oxide) is heated (reduction smelting) in a blast furnace to a high temperature; the oxide combines with the carbon in the coke, escaping as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Other impurities are removed by adding flux, with which they combine to form slag. If the ore is a sulfide mineral (e.g., copper, nickel, lead, or cobalt), air or oxygen is blasted through (matte smelting) to oxidize the sulfide to sulfur dioxide and any iron to oxide slag, leaving the metal. See also metallurgy; mineral processing
smelting: The extraction of metal from its ore by heating
smelting: the process of high temperature heating of metallic ores in order to melt and separate the pure metal from associated impurities
smelting: The process of extracting a metal from its ores by heating; the chemical reduction of the oxide of the metal with carbon in a furnace Earth and other impurities, separating as lighter and more fusible slags, can readily be removed from the reduced metal
smelting: from Smelt
