Hey mate !!!!

to obtain metal from its metal oxide be done auto reduction process/ reduction

chemical equation :-

in this process we use carbon as a reducing agent and it is also known as a smelting.
✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴
Fe203 + 3C = 2Fe. + 3CO.

by the process of autoreduction we get pure metal that is ( Fe).

hope it helps!!

thanks

Reduction process is used to obtain metal from metal oxide with the help of suitable reducing agents like carbon or a very high reactive metal is used to extract a low reactive metal from its metal oxide

For eg:Zinc oxide can be reduced by carbon

ZnO (s)+ C-(s)------>Zn(s) +CO(g)

Manganese dioxide is reduced to Manganese with the help of high reative metal like Al
MnO2+4Al ---->2Mn(l)+2Al2O3(s)+Heat
