Why is electrolysis much more expensive than using a blast furnace?

electrolysis requires a lot of electrical energy, however this is not the same with reduction with carbon (blast furnace), which is a lot cheaper than electrolysis, but not always the most practical. :)

Is using the Blast Furnace for extracting iron from its Ore expensive?

How is aluminium extracted?
Aluminum is extracted from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum oxide is found, through a refining process known as the Bayer process. The bauxite is mixed sodium hydroxide and heated, which separates the aluminum oxide because it dissolves in the sodium hydroxide while the rest of the bauxite does not.
Why can't aluminium be extracted from aluminium ore using a blast furnace?
Because it is more reactive then carbon to be extracted in a blast furnace. Remember carbon is the reducing agent and for it to work the metal being extracted has to be lower in the reactivity series, e.g. iron
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
How do you extract aluminium from Aluminium Oxide?
by using electrolysis

Why does titanium more than steel?
i am doing homework and this is what i put: steel is extacted using a blast furnace which is quick and relatively cheap. however to extract titanium, magnesium is needed because it is more reactive. magnesium is extracted by electrolysis, which is expensive therefore it is not cheap to buy. you have to buy the magnesium to extract the titanium, which is why titanium is expensive hope this helped and you can copy it word for word i dont care :)

What is a problem with using iron straight from a blast furnace?
That iron is too brittle.

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 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!
What is a sentence using the word blast?
We had a blast! The rocket is about to blast off.
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.
