Extraction Of Metals

Bayani Gaba-gaba

Most metals are not found pure in the ground; they are locked up in ores as compounds, usually oxides. Winning the metal back is a question of energy and reactivity: a reactive metal clings to its ore and needs electricity to free it, while a less reactive metal can be prised out with carbon. The reactivity series is the master key.

In this lesson you will learn how a metal's position in the reactivity series decides how it is extracted, follow the extraction of iron from hematite in the blast furnace step by step, and see why aluminium, high in the series, must be extracted by electrolysis from bauxite using cryolite and carbon anodes.

Manufura

  1. Describe the ease in obtaining metals from their ores, related to the position of the metal in the reactivity series.
  2. Describe the extraction of iron from hematite in the blast furnace, limited to: (a) the burning of carbon (coke) to provide heat and produce carbon dioxide (b) the reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide (c) the reduction of iron(III) oxide by carbon monoxide (d) the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate / limestone to produce calcium oxide (e) the formation of slag Symbol equations are not required.
  3. State that the main ore of aluminium is bauxite and that aluminium is extracted by electrolysis.
  4. [Supplement] State the symbol equations for the extraction of iron from hematite (a) C + O₂ → CO₂ (b) C + CO₂ → 2CO (c) Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂ (d) CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂ (e) CaO + SiO₂ → CaSiO₃.
  5. [Supplement] Describe the extraction of aluminium from purified bauxite / aluminium oxide, including: (a) the role of cryolite (b) why the carbon anodes need to be regularly replaced (c) the reactions at the electrodes, including ionic half-equations Details of the purification of bauxite are not required.

Iron and aluminium are the backbone of modern construction, transport and manufacturing, and extracting them efficiently is a huge industry. Understanding why iron is reduced with carbon while aluminium needs electrolysis shows how chemistry turns the reactivity series into real-world engineering decisions.
