Chemistry of Elements
Some sulphide ores undergo oxidation by air to form sulphates. This explains the occurrence of sulphate ores. Ores are invariably found in nature in contact with rocky materials. These rocky or earthy impurities accompanying the ores are termed as gangue or matrix. Some important ores and the metals present in these ores are listed in Table 18.1

Nevada. Roasting of sulfide ores involves heating the ores in air to convert them to oxide ores and break up their physical structure, allowing leaching solutions to penetrate and dissolve the gold. In effect, roasting oxidizes the sulfur in the ore, generating sulfur dioxide that can be captured and converted to sulfuric acid.
