- Leaching (agriculture)
- Leaching (chemical science)
- Leaching (metallurgy)
- Leaching (pedology)
- Bioleaching
- In cooking, leaching generally refers to Parboiling. In Agriculture, leaching refers to the loss of water-soluble plant Nutrients from the Soil, due to Rain and Irrigation. In the Chemical processing industry leaching is known as extraction. Leaching is a widely used Extractive metallurgy technique which converts Metals into Soluble Salts in Aqueous media Dump leaching is an Industrial process to extract Precious metals and Copper from Ores Dump leaching is similar to Heap leaching Heap leaching is an industrial Mining process to extract Precious metals and Copper compounds from Ore. Tank leaching, also called vat leaching, is a hydrometallurgical method of extracting valuable material (usually metals from ore In pedology, leaching is the loss of mineral and organic solutes due to Percolation. Bioleaching is the extraction of specific Metals from their Ores through the use of bacteria.
