I've got my AQA C1 chemistry exam in a week, and was going over metal extraction, with electrolysis and displacement with carbon and so forth. Now I had an idea, its probably incredibly flawed as I haven't researched into it too far, but surely you could just perform a kind of system like this:
1) Displace copper with lead
2) displace lead with tin
3) displace tin with iron
4) displace iron with zinc
5) displace zinc with aluminium (I know, i could use carbon.)
6) electrolysis on aluminium
you then have all 6 of your metals in pure form.
