What is the process called in which the desirable elements are dissolved in a reagent selectively, during a hydrometallurgy process? Correct Answer Leaching

Leaching is the first step during a hydrometallurgy process. In leaching, desired elements are dissolved selectively, in a suitably chosen leaching reagent. Sometimes, we conduct some preliminary steps before leaching such as crushing, grinding, roasting etc. for the proper conduct of the whole process.
