Solution
Metals that are extracted electrolytically
- The metals that are on the top of the reactivity series are extracted electrolytically.
- These include sodium, potassium, calcium, lithium, magnesium, and aluminum.
Extraction of metals :
- Sodium: Electrolytic reduction of molten or fused sodium chloride.
- Potassium: Electrolysis of potassium ore in its molten state.
- Calcium: Electrolysis of fused calcium chloride.
- Lithium: Membrane electrolysis of brine.
- Magnesium: Pidgeon process by which thermal reduction of magnesium oxide is done.
- Aluminum: Hall - Heroults process in which aluminum ore is treated with Sodium hydroxide.
