Excerpt from Chemistry and Metallurgy Applied to Dentistry When the ores are sulphides or carbonates they must be converted into oxides before they can be treated as shown above. Lastly, a method sometimes used when the metal exists in the free state consists in amalgamating it with mercury and subsequently removing the latter by pressure and distillation. This process is more often used in reducing gold and silver ores, and is technically known as the amalgamation process.
