pirometalúrgicos
Pirometalúrgicos refers to metallurgical processes that involve the application of heat to achieve desired chemical and physical transformations of ores and concentrates. These processes are primarily used for the extraction and refining of metals, particularly those with high melting points. The term originates from the Greek words "pyr" meaning fire and "metallon" meaning metal.
Key pirometalúrgicos techniques include smelting, roasting, calcining, and converting. Smelting involves heating ore with a reducing
These high-temperature methods are energy-intensive but are highly effective for processing a wide range of metallic
