The extraction of iron from its ores primarily involves the process of self reduction, where the iron ore (typically hematite, \mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3 ) is heated in the presence of carbon monoxide (\mathrm{CO}) or hydrogen \left(\mathrm{H}_2\right). This reduces the iron oxide to metallic iron, which is then collected.

The extraction of manganese from its ores typically involves a combination of processes. The first step is usually the conversion of manganese dioxide \left(\mathrm{Mn} \mathrm{O}_2\right) into manganese(IV) oxide ( \mathrm{MnO}_2 ) or manganese(II) oxide \mathrm{(MnO)} through a reduction reaction. The next step involves the reduction of manganese oxide to metallic manganese using a method known as electrolytic reduction. In this process, an electrolytic cell is used, where a solution of manganese sulfate is electrolyzed, leading to the deposition of metallic manganese on the cathode.
