    The document outlines the general principles and processes for isolating elements from ores and minerals. It involves three main steps: 1) Concentrating the ore by removing unwanted materials based on differences in physical properties, 2) Isolating the metal from the concentrated ore by converting the metal compound in the ore to the elemental metal using chemical methods, and 3) Refining the isolated metal to ensure it is free of any impurities. Common ores and minerals used to extract metals like aluminum, iron, copper, and zinc are listed.
