Welcome dear,

● Steps involved -
- To extract pure metals from its carbonate ore, we first heat the ore at high temperature in absence of air. This is called calcination.
CuCO3 + heat → CuO + CO2

- Metal is then displaced from its oxide with the help of reducing agent. Most commonly carbon, aluminium are used for this purpose.
CuO + C → Cu + CO

- Impure metal thus obtained is refined using electrolysis.

Hope this helps you...
