    Non-ferrous extractive metallurgy is one of the two branches of extractive metallurgy which pertains to the processes of reducing valuable, non-iron metals from ores or raw material. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Metals like zinc , copper , lead , aluminium as well as rare and noble metals are of particular interest in this field, [ 1 ] while the more ...

  8. Geometallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometallurgy

    Geometallurgy relates to the practice of combining geology or geostatistics with metallurgy, or, more specifically, extractive metallurgy, to create a spatially or geologically based predictive model for mineral processing plants.

  9. Solvent extraction and electrowinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_extraction_and...

    Solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) is a two-stage hydrometallurgical process that first extracts and upgrades copper ions from low-grade leach solutions into a solvent containing a chemical that selectively reacts with and binds the copper in the solvent.
