In this method of liquid-liquid (solvent) extraction, zinc is added to a molten lead/silver mixture and cooled slowly. Because of zinc's high melting point and lower specific gravity, it solidifies before the lead. The silver in the mixture becomes concentrated in the zinc crust since it is 3000 times more soluble in zinc than in lead.
Crushing and Grinding: Crush and grind the ore into a fine powder to liberate silver particles. Concentration: Use froth flotation or gravity separation methods to concentrate the silver ore. Leaching: Apply chemical solutions, like cyanide or acid, to dissolve and extract silver from the concentrated ore. 5.
