Why are carbon anodes replaced regularly?

I doubt this is useful since this was posted 4 years ago, but carbon anodes have to be replaced in commercial use because they react with the oxygen that is reacts with (or so i think), and therefore the co2 that comes from the carbon and metal oxide in the displacement reaction makes the carbon anodes turn into co2 and therefore these anodes need to be replaced

Can you use zinc anodes on your buried water tank?

Zinc anodes can help protect buried water tanks or any buried steel structure from external corrosion. The use of zinc anodes protect a structure from corrosion by a principle is known as cathodic protection. Corrosion is an electrochemical reaction where the reaction can be separated into two halves (two half-cell reactions): the anodic and the cathodic reactions. Deterioration (or corrosion) of the metal occurs at the anode. When zinc is in electrical contact with the steel and immersed in the same liquid, the zinc become the anode and the steel structure becomes the cathode. The zine is preferentially corroded, leaving the steel structure protected. To protect a steel tank, the anodes should be buried and evenly distributed around the tank. Deep anodes are sometimes needed to protect tanks with large flat bottoms. The holes around the anode are often filled with carbon to ensure good electrical contact with the ground water. Electric cables need to connect the zinc anodes to the steel. The anodes do not protect against internal corrosion of the tank.

How do you extract aluminum from aluminum oxide?

You need to pass an electric current throguh the molten aluminum oxide which is the ore for alumium and then u get pure aluminum at the bottom because its denser than aluminum oxide. Carbon dioxide is produced as well because the metals used to pass the electric current are carbon and the ocsigen reacts with the carbon to create carbon dioxide.
