Aluminum
What is Aluminum?
Aluminum (Al) is a type of metal,
but not just any type of metal; it is
the third most abundant chemical
element after oxygen and silicon.
Not only that, but aluminum is the
amplest metal in all of Earth’s crust,
making up almost 10% of its entire
mass.

that when a steady electric current
passes through a wire it creates a
magnetic field around it.)

 How Aluminium is
useful in War and
other situation?

In World Wars I and II, aluminium was a crucial strategic

resource for aviation. In 1954, aluminium became the most
produced non-ferrous metal, surpassing copper. In the 21st
century, most aluminium was consumed in transportation,
engineering, construction, and packaging in the United States,
Western Europe, and Japan.
More About Aluminum(Chapter 1)
Aluminum occurs in igneous
rocks chiefly as
aluminosilicates in feldspars,
feldspathoids, and micas; in the
soil derived from them as clay;
and upon further weathering as
bauxite and iron-rich laterite.
 More About Aluminum (Chapter 2)
◦ The most common form of
aluminium found in nature is
aluminium sulphates. These are
minerals that combine two
sulphuric acids: one based on an
alkaline metal and one based on a
metal from the third group of the
periodic table, primarily
aluminium.
More About Aluminium(Chapter 3)
Bauxite, a mixture of hydrated aluminum
oxides, is the principal aluminum ore.
Crystalline aluminum oxide ,which occurs in
a few igneous rocks, is mined as a natural
abrasive or in its finer varieties as rubies and
sapphires. Of the many other aluminum
minerals, alunite and cryolite have some
commercial importance.
Why is Aluminum good recycling?
Recycling aluminium uses 95% less
energy than producing aluminium
from raw materials. It also saves
97% of green house gas emissions
produced in the primary production
process. Recycling 1 tonne of
aluminium saves 9 tonnes of CO2
emissions and 4 tonnes of bauxite –
the raw material from which
aluminium is made.
