How does a scrap heap electromagnet work?

An electromagnet can be used a couple of ways. It can be used on the end of a crane, to pick up large pieces of metal to be moved into shredders, or restacked for transportation, crushing, etc. It can also be used to separate metal from non-metal pieces. Usually, these types of magnets are on a conveyor belt, and will cull metal from, say, plastics or other non-ferrous metals such as copper, and aluminum.

What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?

Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.
