This process of extracting silver from its ore is called the Macarthur-Forrest process of silver extraction, named after the scientists'' John S. MacArthur and Robert W. Forrest who invented it. This process mainly comprises three steps: The first step is the one in which the silver ore is finely ground into tiny particles, and then reacted with

Silver is extracted from the argentite ore by the Mac-Arthur and Forrest’s cyanide process. The various steps involved in this process are as follows. Concentration. The crushed ore is concentrated by froth-floatation process. Treatment of the ore with NaCN. The concentrated ore is treated with 0.4-0.6% solution of sodium cyanide for several

A slurry of ground ore, water and a weak cyanide solution is fed into large steel leach tanks where the gold and silver are dissolved. Following this leaching process the slurry passes through six adsorption tanks containing carbon granules which adsorb the gold and silver. This process removes 93% of the gold and 70% of the silver.

In this process, ore was heated with rock salt, producing silver chloride, which was leached out with sodium hyposulfite. Today, there are several processes used to extract silver from ores. A method called the cyanide, or heap leach, process has gained acceptance within the mining industry because it is a low-cost way of processing lower-grade

The common gold-silver ore extraction process has the following types: 1. Flotation + Flotation concentrate cyanidation. The sulfide ore containing gold, silver and quartz veins is subjected to flotation process to obtain a small amount of concentrate, which is then sent to cyanidation process.

In this process, ore is dissolved in a suitable solvent and then the metal is precipitated by adding some electropositive metal. For example. In the extraction of silver from argentite, Ag 2 S, the ore is dissolved in sodium cyanide to give a complex salt. The solution is filtered to remove insoluble impurities.

A process routinely employed in the fire assaying of gold ores is the addition of silver prior to fusion of the ore in order to ensure that the silver content of the final bead is high enough to dissolve. This is called inquartation, and the separating of silver and gold by leaching with nitric acid is referred to as parting.

The process of extracting metal ores buried deep underground is called Mining. The metal ores are found in the earth’s crust in varying abundance. The extraction of metals from ores is what allows us to use the minerals in the ground! The ores are very different from the finished metals that we see in buildings and bridges.

Lead ores containing silver are extracted by cupellation , a process developed by the Chaldeans as early as 2,500 B.C. Today, the cupellation process involves heating crushed ore on a porous bed of bone ash until it melts. The lead and other impurities are absorbed into the bone ash, and the molten silver is drawn off.

Crushing and Separating Mined Silver Ore. Once the ore has been mined and transported out of the mine, it goes through a variety of crushers which break down the ore into small chunks. The chunks of silver ore are crushed and ground into a fine powder, allowing for the separation process to begin.

The next process of gold extraction from Hydrometallurgy route is Leaching. There are reagents that can be used to gold leaching process: Mercury (Hg), Cyanide (CN-) usual as KCN or NaCN, Thiosulphate (Na2S2O3), and Thiourea. Reagent vote for leaching process depend on: 1. Kind of Ore 2. Grade of Gold in the Ore 3. Cost 4. Material Handling 5.

The patio process is a process for extracting silver from ore.The process, which uses mercury amalgamation to recover silver from ore, was reportedly invented by Bartolomé de Medina in Pachuca, Mexico, in 1554. It replaced smelting as the primary method of extracting silver from ore at Spanish colonies in the Americas.

The principal ore of zinc used for its extraction is Zinc blend ( Z n S). As Zinc blend is a sulphide ore, the process used for its concentration is the Froth Floatation Method. The concentrated ore is then roasted in excess air at 1200 K to obtain zinc oxide ( Z n O). It is then reduced to Z n by coke at a temperature of 1673 K.

Patio Process. The earliest method of extraction was a method developed in the Mexican mines in the mid 1500s and familiar to the miners at ia City, the Patio Process. This method of processing the rocks to extract the silver was slow, did not recover all the silver, and did not use the added reagents as efficiently as possible.

The impurities must be removed from the ore prior to the extraction of the metal. The processes used for removing the gangue from the ore are based on the differences between the physical or chemical properties of the gangue and the ore.
