Aluminum is a abundant metal
that has many uses. Aluminum comes from a clay like ore called Bauxite.
Bauxite contains several other substances that workers must extract. To
remove the Aluminum the workes put the Bauxite in Pressured tanks. The
other substances form a mass that can be filtered out Leaving only a Liquid.
The Liquid must then go through several other processes that produce a
white, powdery, chemical called Alumina. Alumina is made up of Aluminum
and oxygen. Workers use electricity to seperate the Aluminum and oxygen.
The final result is a light silvery metal that comes in many forms. |
