Principle
The reduction, as the reversal of the oxidation, can be achieved
thermally or with the aid of a reducing agent.
Some metal oxides can be decomposed into the metal and oxygen under
the influence of thermal energy. In the case of less noble metals,
a reducing agent is required for obtaining the elements. The redox
processes during the preparation of lead demonstrate the
relationship between oxidation and reduction.
