Using the Earth's Resources: Overexploitation and Alternative Extraction Methods ⛏️ GCSE Chemistry Learning & Revision
Manage episode 496167223 series 3139602
In this episode, we discuss overexploitation and alternative extraction methods.
Historical overuse of copper-rich ores has led to a scarcity of these resources. As a result, scientists have developed alternative methods to obtain copper from less concentrated sources.
Phytomining uses plants to absorb copper from polluted land, while bioleaching employs bacteria to extract copper from low-grade ores.
Although these innovative techniques allow access to previously unusable resources, they are considerably slower than traditional mining practices.
