    In metallurgy, refining consists of purifying an impure metal. It is to be distinguished from other processes such as smelting and calcining in that those two involve a chemical change to the raw material, whereas in refining the final material is chemically identical to the raw material. Refining thus increases the purity of the raw material ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patio_process

    The patio process is a process for extracting silver from ore. Smelting, or refining, is most often necessary because silver is only infrequently found as a native element like some metals nobler than the redox couple 2 H + + 2 e − ⇌ H 2 (gold, mercury, ...). Instead, it is made up of a larger ore body.

    The enrichment factor can also be used to talk about the level of radioactive isotopes in uranium, or the level of minerals in soil. [1]The same concept is used in Bioinformatics for gene analysis, to measure the added value of a search tool over another one or over the homogeneous distribution in the genome population.

  9. Smelting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting

    The oxides, in turn, are smelted into the metal. Carbon monoxide was (and is) the reducing agent of choice for smelting. It is easily produced during the heating process, and as a gas comes into intimate contact with the ore. In the Old World, humans learned to smelt metals in prehistoric times, more than 8000 years ago. The discovery and use ...
