Unlike conventional methods where ores are reduced using carbon, which results in carbon-contaminated metals, the team's new method uses hydrogen as the reducing agent. "Using hydrogen instead of ...

The metal ores are processed into ready-to-use alloys at just 700 degrees Celsius, without repeated heating and cooling. This saves 40 percent energy compared to conventional metallurgy.

Explore the fascinating process of how iron is made! From raw ore to refined metal, discover each step that transforms natural materials into one of the world's most essential metals. Reservoir ...

JX said on Tuesday it’s considering reducing output due to tight supplies of concentrate, the feedstock for the refined metal ...

The Australian mining behemoth BHP provided Endolith with funding for testing and site-matched ore samples through its in-house innovation program. The London-based metals giant Rio Tinto ...

However, rare earth metals are also critical because of their extraction. They always occur in compound form in natural ores – but as these elements are chemically very similar, they are difficult to ...

The concentration of metallic ores, or their separation from waste and worthless rock, is a process through which all metals used in daily life must pass before they reach the smelter and through ...

By removing impurities from waste materials, this approach could transform industrial byproducts into valuable feedstock, further enhancing the sustainability of metal production. By eliminating the ...
