==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Phytomining]] is a process of [[Extraction of Metals|extracting]] [[mineral]]s from their [[ore]] using [[plant]]s then using [[Extraction of Metals by Electrolysis|electrolysis]] in [[solution]] to [[extract]] the [[metal]] form the [[mineral]].
===About Phytomining===
[[Phytomining]] has several stages:
#[[Plant]]s are grown in an area with [[Low Grade Ore|low grade ores]] where they take in the [[mineral]]s through their [[roots]].
#The [[plant]]s are then burned.
#The ash is added to [[water]] and the [[mineral]]s [[dissolve]] in that [[water]].
#[[Extracting Metals by Electrolysis#Electrolysis of Aqueous Minerals|Electrolysis]] is then used to [[Extraction of Metals|extract]] the [[metal]] from the [[mineral]].
: [[Phytomining]] is cheaper than [[smelting]] but takes much longer to [[Extraction of Metals|extract]] the [[mineral]]s than conventional mining.
: [[Phytomining]] is used on [[Low Grade Ore|low grade ores]] where conventional mining would be too expensive and not enough [[mineral]] [[Extraction of Metals|extracted]].
