The 15 pages that link to Smelting, each with the reason it gives.

• Sulfur dioxideRelated: Smelting sulfide ores can release SO₂ unless the gas is captured and processed.

• MetallurgyBroader topic: It is a major high-temperature route from concentrated ore to crude metal.

• Sulfide mineralRelated: Sulfide concentrates are commonly roasted and smelted to recover their metals.

• Copper miningRelated: Copper sulfide concentrates are smelted to produce an impure copper-rich material.

• ReductionRelated: Smelting reduces metal compounds to produce elemental metals.

• MetalRelated: Smelting made abundant metal-bearing ores usable as sources of workable material.

• BlacksmithingRelated: Iron production supplies the material that blacksmiths shape.

• Georgius AgricolaRelated: His account follows ores from mine workings into furnaces and metal production.

• ArchaeometallurgyRelated: Slag and furnace remains can show how ancient metalworkers separated metal from ore.

• Gold extractionRelated: Gold-rich concentrates or precipitates are melted into bullion for further refining.

• Magmatic sulfide depositRelated: Sulfide concentrates require processing that can release sulfur dioxide unless controlled.

• StibniteRelated: Smelting is one route for recovering antimony from processed stibnite.

• BiominingCompared with: It uses heat rather than microbial activity to separate metals from mineral feedstocks.

• Extractive metallurgyBroader topic: It is a central pyrometallurgical route from prepared ore to metal.

• Liquation (metallurgy)Narrower topic: Liquation can follow smelting as a further separation or refining step.
