The important ores of silver are: Argentite (Ag 2 S), Copper silver glance, Horn silver, Ruby silver. The silver ores are found along with gold ores in some parts of India. Extraction. Silver is extracted from the ore-argentite (Ag 2 S). The process of extraction of silver is called as cyanide process as sodium cyanide solution is used.

The impurities must be removed from the ore prior to the extraction of the metal. The processes used for removing the gangue from the ore are based on the differences between the physical or chemical properties of the gangue and the ore. Different separation techniques are accordingly employed. 1. Extracting Metals Low in the Reactivity Series

Patio Process. The earliest method of extraction was a method developed in the Mexican mines in the mid 1500s and familiar to the miners at ia City, the Patio Process. This method of processing the rocks to extract the silver was slow, did not recover all the silver, and did not use the added reagents as efficiently as possible.

The process works best when the ore is crushed to small pieces before roasting. Additives, such as common rock salt are often added to the mix before it is heated to enhance the reaction of the sulfides. Once the ores are fully roasted, and the sulfur is driven off, the extraction of the gold or silver from the ore is not especially difficult.

Crushing and Separating Mined Silver Ore. Once the ore has been mined and transported out of the mine, it goes through a variety of crushers which break down the ore into small chunks. The chunks of silver ore are crushed and ground into a fine powder, allowing for the separation process to begin.

Lead ores containing silver are extracted by cupellation , a process developed by the Chaldeans as early as 2,500 B.C. Today, the cupellation process involves heating crushed ore on a porous bed of bone ash until it melts. The lead and other impurities are absorbed into the bone ash, and the molten silver is drawn off.

Water is also added, which turns the ore into a slurry. We send this slurry to leaching tanks, where we add a weak cyanide solution to the slurry, which leaches gold and silver into the solution. This process removes up to 93 percent of the gold and 70 percent of the silver from the ore. Carbon granules are then added to the solution.

A process routinely employed in the fire assaying of gold ores is the addition of silver prior to fusion of the ore in order to ensure that the silver content of the final bead is high enough to dissolve. This is called inquartation, and the separating of silver and gold by leaching with nitric acid is referred to as parting.
