Chemical processing methods are applied in processing of low grade, complex
ores or certain mineral resources to recover concentrates (metal). These
chemical methods are very closely connected with the study of mutual action of
the chemical agents and the mineral. It is very important to have the basic
and analytical knowledge of chemistry to recover quantities of pure metals
from the solution.
