Even though the ores of both the metals is quite cheap, Sodium has to be extracted through electrolysis which is quite an expensive process where as Iron is extracted from Blast furnace which is comparatively cheaper to run.
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
what are blast and crucible furnaces
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.
First: Roast the Galena in a blast furnace for 30 minuets. Second: Add Carbon to the blast furnace to remove impurities. Third: Tag off your lead from the bottom of the blast furnace.

It is 96% iron (the rest is mostly sulphur etc.).

Blast furnace = Hochofen
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
Its because air is forced into the furnace to increase temperature. Steve.
Govăjdia Blast Furnace was created in 1810.
A blast furnace is a forge in which ore is smelted to meal, being intensified by a blast of hot air.
