Detailed Solution

(i) Low-grade ores are processed using hydrometallurgy to extract copper. It is removed by leaching with acid or bacteria. Scrap iron or H2 are used to treat the Cu2+ solution.

(ii) When reducing alumina electrolytically. Graphite serves as an anode, and steel with a carbon liner serves as an anode.

(iii) The Hall-Heroult process is a method for electrolytically separating aluminium from alumina (Al2O3). In this process, oxygen is released at an anode while aluminium is created at a cathode via an outlet. It interacts with the anode's carbon, generating CO and CO2.
