Cementation. Cathodic precipitation of a metal ion of a metal from solution by passing the solution over a more anodic (less noble) metal. Cu 2+ +2e = Cu (cathodic precipitation Fe = Fe 2+ + 2e (anodic dissolution). Cementation is less selective than gaseous reduction.

Isolation techniques Ion exchange: organic resins on to which either cations or anions have been loosely bounded Solvent extraction: organic compounds – ethers, esters, ketones- provide high solubility of some metallic and complex metal ions Reverse osmosis: concentration of metal ions by passage of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membranes
Electrowinning Electrowinning of a metal is based on the electrolysis of aqueoussolutions or melts of metal salts with insoluble anode
