Hydrometallurgy
● A branch of extractive metallurgywhich deals with the processes involving
aqueous solutions to extract metals from
ores !"#
● $t is divided into three areas:- %eaching- &olution concentration and purification- 'etal (compound) recovery

Three Areas under Hydrometallurgy
1. Leaching
$nvolves the treatment of mineral
materials*specifically oxidi+ed
containing desirable metals using
acidic or basic solutions to dissolve
soluble elements and concentrate
in an enriched solution !,#

3. Metal Compound Recovery- involves the process of refining extracted metals for c
use
- involves Electrolytic process
involves metallurgical processes that ta7e place iof electrolytic cell

Metal Recovery involving Electrolytic proces
- Electroinning- an electrolysis process used to recover metals in aqu
solution* usually as the result of an ore having underg
more hydrometallurgical processes
- The metal of interest is plated onto a cathode* while acomposed of an inert electrical conductor

Metal Recovery involving Electrolytic proces
- Electrorefining- used to dissolve an impure
metallic anode (typically from a
smelting process) and produce a
high purity cathode
- !used salt electrolysis- another electrometallurgical process whereby the valu
is dissolved into a molten salt* which acts as the elect
the valuable metal collects on the cathode of the cell
