14-4 Elements from the earth Separating Metals
Gold: panning • Characteristic Property • Use golds high density to separate it from its surrounding materials • Large scale panning with the use of dredges
Copper: Electrolysis • Exists as a compound • ORE – rock with a useful metal • Chemical Activity • Grind ore & dissolve in a solution • Insert electrode with current • Useful metal will move to one probe
Iron: Blast Furnace • Exists as an ore • Chemical Activity • Iron ore & source • of carbon (coke) • React at high temperatures • in furnace • Leave the purified iron behind
