Pyrometallurgical processes

Pyrometallurgical processes involve extracting and refining metals through high-temperature treatments such as smelting, roasting, and refining. These processes break down ore minerals, often using heat and chemical reactions, to separate valuable metals like iron, copper, or zinc from other materials. The goal is to produce pure or concentrated metal products suitable for manufacturing. Pyrometallurgy is widely used in the mining industry for efficient metal recovery, relying on thermal energy to facilitate chemical transformations and refine ore into usable metals.
