4 of 10
Why is Titanium not extracted by carbon?
It forms titanium Carbide which makes it brittle
5 of 10
Disadvantages of using hydrogen to extract tungsten
Very expensive and Hydrogen is highly expolsive
6 of 10
Disadvantage of using carbon to extract iron, copper and manganese
Produces CO2 which is a greenhouse gas
7 of 10
