Metallurgy & Metals Refining
Metallurgy covers the chemistry and physics of separating valuable metals from ore and refining them to saleable products through comminution, flotation, leaching, smelting, and electrowinning. Mining metallurgists design and run test work to predict recovery, reagent consumption, and concentrate quality, then translate results into operating flowsheets and plant control strategies. Their work directly determines how much metal a mine actually delivers from a given orebody.
