MoreThe complete production process from aluminium is a fascinating procedure. Starting with the extraction of the bauxite, through to the conversion of alumina and ultimately to the entire electrolysis process. The end product: pure aluminium, ready to be further processed by post-processing companies.
MorePure aluminium oxide, called alumina, is extracted from bauxite via a process called refining, composed of two steps: a digestion process, using caustic soda, which allows the separation of aluminium hydroxide from the so-called “bauxite residue”, followed by a calcination

The next stage of the production chain is the process of turning bauxite into alumina or aluminum oxide (Al2O3) white powder. The most common process for producing alumina from bauxite is the Bayer process, which was discovered 100 years ago, but is still widely used today.

This process required a
More2021-11-17 Primary production is the process through which new aluminum is made (versus secondary production, in which existing aluminum is recycled into pure metal). Aluminum originates from bauxite, an ore typically found in the topsoil of various tropical and subtropical regions. Once mined, aluminum within the bauxite ore is chemically extracted into ...
