{wiki=Ionometallurgy}
Ionometallurgy is a branch of metallurgy that focuses on the extraction and purification of metals through the use of ionic species. This field combines principles of electrochemistry, materials science, and metallurgy to develop processes for recovering metals from ores, secondary materials, or waste products. In ionometallurgy, ionic processes are utilized to selectively dissolve metals from their solid forms, typically using ionic liquids or aqueous electrolytes.
