Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is also a common household utensilmetal. The extraction of Aluminum from its ore is expensive because the metallurgy uses a veryhigh amount of electricity. The extraction of Aluminum metal takes place in a number of steps,which may be summarized below.Step 1: Washing and mechanical processes employed to the ore to remove basic impurities.Step 2: Conversion of Aluminum ore (Bauxite) to powdered Alumina (Al2O3) by reaction withconcentrated NaOH solution.Step 3: Dissolving Alumina in molten Cryolite(Na3AlF6)Step 4: Electrolytic refining of the solution at step 2. (Diagram below) to form pure Aluminummetal.Step 5: Collecting pure molten Aluminum at the cathode, which change later to solid Aluminummetal.As you observed, many changes are taking place in different steps for the above extractionprocess.
