Electrochemical Principles of Metallurgy

The video tutorial explains the application of electrochemical principles in metallurgy, focusing on the reduction of metal ions through electrolysis and other methods. It covers the metallurgy of aluminium, detailing the Hall-Héroult process, and the extraction of copper from low-grade ores using hydrometallurgy. Key concepts include electrode potential, reactivity of metals, and the role of electrodes in electrochemical reactions.
