Other Metals Flashcards
Most abundant metallic element, constituting 8% of the Earth’s crust.
Aluminum
Found as a secondary metal in porphyry copper deposits, skarn deposits, and quartz veins.
Molybdenum
Heavy, dense, liquid at room temperature, and extremely toxic in vapor form; Derived from cinnabar ore, with significant use in the past for gold extraction
Mercury
Heavy metal, used historically in a variety of applications; Often by-products of gold and copper mining, extracted from galena ore.
Lead
Main ore of Al
Bauxite
Bauxite consists of minerals such as__ (mention the chemical formula
gibbsite (Al(OH)₃),
diaspore (AlO(OH)), and
boehmite (AlO(OH))
Bauxite results from
leaching of silica in aluminum-bearing rocks, especially those with high feldspar content.
Leading producer of Bauxite
AUS (40% world reserves)
First occurrence of Bauxite in the PH
Lutawon Basin, Nonoc Is.
Identified as a significant area with deposits between 11°-13° latitude and 124°-126° longitude, containing gibbsite and boehmite with alumina and silica.
Mainland Samar
Batad Is is estimated to have ____ MT in aluminum reserves
11,017,968
Features ferruginous bauxite within the Surigao Mineral Reservation, exhibiting a range of lateritic soil types with varying iron content.
