Aluminium oxide can be separated by electricity?
there are two ways of extracting aluminum from its ore 1) old way: - displacement reaction ex: - Na + Al2O3 ==> Na2O + Al 2) new way: electrolysis electrolysis: - is a way of extracting highly reactive metals from their ore using electricity. so the short answer is YES
What metals can be extracted from its ore by heat alone?

What are Advantages of using cryogenics?
Cryogenic Processing of metals (i.e. metals frozen to low temperatures) show more resistance to wear
What is the name of the process for splitting apart compounds using electricity?
It is electrolysis becouse its a chemical reaction in which an electrical current is used to decompose a compound
How is Potassium extracted from the earth or Atmosphere?
By using electrolysis from potash

What problems are caused when extracting metals from their ores by displacement?
Using Electrolysis: is the most powerful extraction method. But it takes a lot of electricity and that makes it expensive. Hence, electrolysis is only used for the most reactive metals.The method of extracting metal from its ore depends upon how reactive the metal is. The more ractive the metal, the more difficult and expensive it is to seperate from its ore.
Why is it important to recycle the metals you extract using electrolysis?
It takes a lot of electric power to refine metals by electrolysis. Such metals therefore are a kind of stored energy. If they are not recycled, that energy is lost.
How do you get the metals that I use every day?
you get it from the ground either by using a ore or extracting it from the ground
What product is manifactured by electrolisis?
You cant manufacture using electrolysis, but you can separate metals from their compound state, metals such as aluminium (reactive metals).This is often a very expensive process.Hope this helps!

Cite practical applications of electrolysis?
to separate metal from ore for the purpose of electroplating separation of useful metals using electochemistry
What are Advantages of using cryogenics?
Cryogenic Processing of metals (i.e. metals frozen to low temperatures) show more resistance to wear
How and why aluminum is extracted by electrolysis?
Aluminium is extracted using electrolysis only! Electrolysis is the process where ionic substances are broken down into simpler substances using electricity
What is the name of the process for splitting apart compounds using electricity?
It is electrolysis becouse its a chemical reaction in which an electrical current is used to decompose a compound
What are the advantages of using a electromagnet at an rubbish dump?
It helps to separate metals from other rubbish such as paper and plastic.
Why are aluminium and titanium expensive to extract?
They are reactive metals, and so need to be extracted from their ores using electricity, whereas less reactive metals like iron can be extracted by smelting - roasting with carbon - which is a lot cheaper to do. Both metals are useful because they both do not corrode, as they both have an oxide layer to protect them from corrosion. They both need to be extracted by a process called "electrolysis" which means to break up substances using electricity. Electrolysis uses a lot of energy (ie- very high temperatures) and a great deal of electricity. Therefore we need to recycle aluminium to conserve energy, as recycling aluminium does not require electrolysis.
