Isolation of Metals - Oxidation based extraction

  • Definition: Oxidation based extraction is a method used to extract metals from their ores by converting them into their soluble forms through oxidation.
  • In this method, the ore is first converted into its oxide form.
  • The metal oxide is then converted into its soluble form using various oxidation methods.
  • Finally, the metal is separated from the solution by techniques like precipitation or electrolysis.
