If you take iron ore, which is iron oxide, and heat it with coal (carbon) you end up with Iron and carbon dioxide. This process is called reducing. This works for most common metals like iron and copper but does not work for aluminium. This must be reduced by electrolysis because it is too reactive for carbon. There are some other limited processes for reducing of ores of rarer metals.
What else can I help you with?
Where are places for extracting metals and chemicals?
Mineral ores,coal
What recommendations can you make to reduce the impact of obtaining and disposing of minerals and metals?
Prioritize recycling and reusing materials to reduce the need for extracting new minerals and metals. Support companies with sustainable mining practices, such as responsible sourcing and minimizing environmental impact. Encourage the development and adoption of technologies that promote efficient use of resources and reduce waste in manufacturing processes.
What is the extraction of metals?
First you mine the ore (typically oxides or sulfides of the desired metals), then you crush the ore, then you smelt the ore in a furnace. Some metals like aluminum must be extracted from the ore electrolytically instead of by smelting.
Why alkali metals not stored in ethanol?
Akali metals reduce ethanol to ethanoxides- they react with ethanol.
Are useful metals obtained from an ore through the process of crystallization?
No, the useful metals are typically obtained from an ore through processes like mining, crushing, grinding, and smelting to extract the metal from the ore. Crystallization is a process used for purifying metals rather than extracting them from ores.
What are general ways of extracting metals from its ore?
1. High Temperatures 2. Solutions3. Electricity
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
What recommendations can you make to reduce the impact of obtaining and disposing of minerals and metals?

Support companies with sustainable mining practices, such as responsible sourcing and minimizing environmental impact. Encourage the development and adoption of technologies that promote efficient use of resources and reduce waste in manufacturing processes.
How do you get the metals that I use every day?
you get it from the ground either by using a ore or extracting it from the ground
What process involves extracting metals from other substances or alloys?
Electrolysis... Some people say electro refining
How can recycling help reduce the problems with mining?
Recycling reduces the demand for new raw materials, which can help decrease the need for mining. By recycling metals and other materials, we can reduce the environmental impact of mining activities such as land degradation, water pollution, and habitat destruction. Recycling also helps to conserve resources and reduce energy consumption associated with extracting and processing virgin materials.
How could you reduce the need to mine minerals?
Recycling, extracting minerals from the seabed and from sea water.
The study of metals and the process for refining and making things from them is called?
Metallurgy is the study of metals and their properties, as well as the process for extracting, refining, and shaping metals for various applications.
What are two ways that animals get oxygen?
breathing their lungs and extracting it from water using gills
Can you reuse minerals?
Yes, many minerals can be recycled and reused. For example, metals such as aluminum, copper, and iron can be recycled multiple times without losing their properties. This helps reduce the need for extracting new raw materials and lessens the environmental impact of mining activities.
How can you change the environment for rusting metals?
You can reduce the air humidity is less oxidizing metals.
