No, it cannot be extracted this way as aluminium is a much stronger reducing agent than carbon and has greater affinity to oxygen.

It is rather extracted by the process of electrolysis by passing electricity through molten aluminum ore which is bauxite mixed with cryolite.

Why cant carbon be used to extract aluminium from its ore?

Aluminium cannot be extracted by reduction with carbon as aluminium is more reactive than the carbon. Instead electolysis must be used, which is a much more expensive method of extracting a metal from it's ore.

How can you separate aluminium hydroxide and iron oxide?

If the iron oxide is Fe3O4 you can use a magnet.This is possible because magnetite has strong magnetic properties.For the separation from other iron oxides aluminium hydroxide can be dissolved in alkalis; iron oxides are not soluble in alkalis.
