Expert Answer
Aluminium is used as a reducing agent in the extraction of metals in those cases where the
metal oxide is of a comparatively more reactive metal than zinc etc,. which cannot be satisfactorily reduced by carbon.
For example: The oxides of manganese and chromium metals are not satisfactorily reduced by carbon.
So, these metals are extracted by the reduction of their oxides with aluminium powder.
Aluminium powder reduces the metal oxide to metal and itself gets oxidised to aluminium oxide.
Example: When manganese dioxide is heated with aluminium powder, then manganese metal is produced.
