Ores and Minerals
The ore is generally associated with Earthy impurities like Sand, rocks, and limestone Known as Gangue or Matrix. A substance added to ore to remove the impurities is called flux. The combination of gangue with flux in ores forms a fusible material called Slag. The concentration of ore is the process of eliminating gangue from the ore.
