Introduction Aluminium because of its low density‚ high tensile strength and resistance and resistance to corrosion is widely used for the manufacture of aeroplanes‚ automobiles lawn furniture as well as for aluminium cans. Being good conductor of electricity it is used for transmission of electricity. Aluminium is also used for making utensils. The recycling of aluminium cans and other aluminium products is a very positive contribution to saving our natural resources. Most of the recycled aluminium is melted

Resistance Aluminium naturally generates a protective oxide coating and is highly corrosion resistant. Different types of surface treatment such as anodizing‚ painting etc. can further improve this property Electrical and Thermal Conductivity Aluminium is an excellent heat and electricity. This has made aluminum the most commonly used material in major power transmission lines. Reflectivity Aluminium is a good reflector of visible light‚ which

three tonnes of bauxite are required to produce one tonne of alumina. 90% of the global alumina supply of around 90 million tonnes is used in aluminium production. DEFINITION The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). The aluminium oxide must be purified before it can be refined to aluminium metal. Important Ore: BAUXITE. CONTENTS: Al2O3 - 30 -54% Rest -Silica‚ Iron Oxides and Titanium Oxides.
