Extraction of metals at the top of the Activity Series of High Activity

Exaction of Metals (At the top of the activity Series) of High Reactivity:

Metals like sodium, magnesium, calcium, aluminum with high reactivity are very reactive .These metallic compounds agent cannot be reduced by carbon or any other reducing agent due to their high affinity with oxygen. Therefore, electrolytic reduction is employed for these metals.

Electrolytic Reduction:

The salts of these metals as chlorides in molten form are electrolysed. Metal is deposited at the cathode and chlorine is liberated at the anode.
