Course Objective

In most cases, metals/nonmetals and their ores occur in the earth as part of compound mixtures that also hold rocks, sand, clay, silt and other impurities. The first step in producing the metal/not metal ores for profitable use, consequently, is to separate the ore from gangue minerals with which it occurs. The term ore is used to describe a compound of a mineral that contains enough of that precious material to make it economically practical to extract from the compound. The degree of purification depends also on the applied methods. The general principles, techniques and methods of purification vary than metallic to non-metallic. In this course, the principles purification of metals/non metals, transition elements, refractory metals and rare earth elements will be given.
