Yes, you save all the energy that would have been needed to mine fresh ore from the ground and to extract the metal from that ore. The amount of energy needed to collect and sort the recycled metals is insignificant compared to this (especially for metals like aluminum that are very hard to extract from their ores).
You only need to use the energy needed to melt the pure metal, which you would have needed anyway after extraction of new metal from fresh ore.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you recycle metals?
Metals can be melted down repeatedly without losing their strength or durability, which makes them ideal for recycling.
Is the ionization energy of alkali metals larger or smaller than the alkaline earth metals in the same period?
It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.
How many electrons occupy the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals?
One electron occupies the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals. Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost energy level, making them highly reactive.
Which element has the lowest ionization energy halogens metals non metals or noble gases?
Noble gases have the lowest ionization energy. This is because noble gases have full valence shells, making it difficult to remove electrons from them.
What is the relationship between ionization energy and the alkali metals?
There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.
Is energy saved overall if we recycle metals?
no
How much energy is saved when you recycle two bottles?
SOMEWERE between 5,000 and 4000000 million
Why is it important to recycle metals that you extract by electrolysis?
It takes a lot of electric power to refine metals by electrolysis. Such metals therefore are a kind of stored energy. If they are not recycled, that energy is lost, and more energy will be needed to refine more metals by electrolysis to replace them. High energy consumption is a major factor in environmental pollution.
How do you avoid running out of metals?
Recycle
Why recycle metals?
Some people think it will prolong are existence on this planet by eliminating waste in landfills. Plus it takes less energy to recycle metal than to mine and smelt new metal.
How can you conserved metal ores?
you can recycle the metals or use alternative metals.
What metals can you recycle?
Iron,Silver,Ag,Al etc...
Where can you recycle your metals?
pretty much every recycling centre :)
What is the good points of recycle?
Less stuff going into landfills. Less energy being used on refining metals from ores, when scrap metal can be collected and melted down instead. Less mining to be done when metals can be collected from scrap.
Is solar energy recycle?
no
Why do you recycle metals?
Metals can be melted down repeatedly without losing their strength or durability, which makes them ideal for recycling.
Why is it important to recycle the metals you extract using electrolysis?
Recycling the metals extracted using electrolysis reduces the need for mining new ores, minimizing the environmental impact of mining activities. It also conserves energy and resources by reusing materials that have already been processed. Additionally, recycling metals helps to reduce landfill waste and lessens the overall carbon footprint of metal production.
