What's the difference between hydrometallurgy and metallurgy?

Hydrometallurgy


Definition:

  • (n.) The art or process of assaying or reducing ores by means of liquid reagents.

Example Sentences:

Metallurgy


Definition:

  • (n.) The art of working metals, comprehending the whole process of separating them from other matters in the ore, smelting, refining, and parting them; sometimes, in a narrower sense, only the process of extracting metals from their ores.
