- Most metals, when subjected to heat until they become melted, combine with oxygen of the atmosphere, and form what are called oxides.1846, unspecified, METALS, OXIDES, EARTHS AND ALKALIES:
- In general, the hydroxamates are used for flotation of oxidic minerals (pyrochlore, cassiterite and ilmenite), rare-earth oxides and oxide copper minerals.2007, Srdjan M. Bulatovic, Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice, →ISBN, page 13:
