Industrial smelting

Industrial smelting is a process where raw materials, usually ores containing metals, are heated at high temperatures in specialized furnaces to extract pure metals. During smelting, the ore is chemically transformed, causing the metal to separate from other impurities. This process often involves adding substances that help facilitate the chemical reactions. The resulting molten metal is then cooled and shaped into usable forms. Smelting is a key step in producing metals like iron, copper, and aluminum, enabling their use in manufacturing, construction, and various industries.
