The industrial importance of displacement reaction is that it helps in extraction of substance/ material from their ore. For instance, Aluminium is used to remove Iron from its compound (Iron Oxide) resulting in a pure Iron that can be used to join railway lines together.

Most metals are found as compounds. These compounds are where the metals are extracted in the mining industry. They are called ores. Ores are usually oxides, carbonates or sulphides of the metal, mixed with sandy impurities.

Some metals can be extracted from their ores by displacement reactions.

For example, iron can be extracted from its ore, haematite, (iron oxide) by heating with carbon at high temperatures. An industrial scale of extraction of iron is done in a giant blast furnace.

If you do this the following displacement reaction occurs:

Iron oxide + carbon -> iron + carbon dioxide

2Fe2O3+ 3C -> 4Fe + 3CO2

Applications of double displacement reactions in paint and pharmaceutical industry:

Double displacement reactions are used to make paints.For example: Lead nitrate is treated with potassium iodide to get a precipitate of lead iodide + solution of potassium nitrate.The lead iodide so obtained is used as a pigment in paint.

Similarly, Calcium carbonate can be used as a white pigment and is formed by the following reaction:

CaCl2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq)→ CaCO3 (s) + 2 NaCl (aq)

In this way, different coloured pigments can be prepared by double displacement reactions.

Magnesium hydroxide in medicines used to treat constipation is produced through a double displacement reaction. Antacids are used to balance acids and gas in the stomach.They react through double displacements to neutralize the balance of other acids and gases found in the stomach. Different forms of medicine involve double displacements to cure sicknesses.

Pharmaceutical industry
We know that sodium bicarbonate is basic in nature. It is a mild base and is an ingredient of antacids. Being alkaline, it neutralises excess acid in the stomach and provides relief.
NaHCO 3 + HCl → NaCl + H 2 O + CO 2
