In other words, metals bound in minerals are transformed into metal ions that are released into an aqueous solution, i.e. immobilized metals become mobilized. Extraction of metals from ores to aqueous solutions by means of chemicals. Leaching occurs naturally but may also be applied as a preparatory step for metal recovery.

metals could be recovered from these ashes. This can be done through chemical leaching; researchers have determined that leaching of ashes should be carried out in acid solutions. It has been shown that metals leach most efficient at lower pH value but for some metals the release rate of metals are still as efficient at higher pH value.
