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.

How is the process of extracting metals from a catalytic converter carried out?

The process of extracting metals from a catalytic converter involves crushing the converter to release the metals, then using a furnace to separate the metals from the ceramic material. The metals are then further processed to remove impurities and obtain pure metals for recycling.


Where are places for extracting metals and chemicals?

Mineral ores,coal


Why The non-metals do not show displacement reaction?

Non-metals do not show displacement reactions because they are less reactive than metals. Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Since non-metals are not as reactive as metals, they are not typically displaced in reactions.


Why some metals react with acids in terms of displacement of hydrogen?

The metals which are more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its solution. It is also an example of displacement reaction.

Why is it important to recylce metals?

It is important to recycle metals because all the resources on earth is limited and no one on earth would like to run out of resources. Recycling is much economic than digging up metals in their compound form and then extracting it.
