Please use the words below to fill in the correct boxes to describe the process of phytomining.
Large scale extraction of minerals (metal compounds) from the earth to make metals using traditional mining techniques is only cost effective when there are high concentrations of the mineral in the ground. We call such a mineral, a .
When there are only small amounts of mineral in the ground, called a , then a process called , involving growing plants, is economic to use.
Plants called are grown in soil containing the low grade ore minerals. They absorb the minerals via their and what they don't use is stored and in their leaves. When the plants are big enough, they are in air and the impure metal compound is found in the .
Chemical processes such as and are used to then purify the metal from the ash.
Decide which of these are bioleaching or phytomining
Some organisms involved use chemosynthesis to produce sugars
This method takes a long time - up to 2 years
