Roasting (in metallurgy)

The process of heating sulphide ores in limited air to convert them into oxides.

Calcination

Carbonate ores are heated strongly in limited air to form oxides.

Electrolytic refining

A method used to purify impure metals by passing an electric current through a solution containing the impure metal.

Conductivity of metals

Metals are good conductors of electricity in the molten state and not in the solid state.
