One way is electrolytic reduction of metal cations from molten salts. Another is heating with carbon, which can reduce the metal ions in many metal oxides to elemental metal atoms.

How are displacement reactions are used to obtain metals from compounds?

Displacement reactions are used to extract metals from their compounds by replacing a less reactive metal in a compound with a more reactive metal. The more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from the compound, resulting in the desired metal being extracted in its elemental form. This process is commonly used in metallurgy to obtain pure metals from their ores.
