The Background of
Aluminum
History
The Ancient Greeks and Romans
were one of the first people to use
aluminum. It was used in the process
to dye materials to make them
colorful. However, while they were
using aluminum, they never knew the
atom of it existed.
Then, Hans Christian discovered
the element of aluminum in 1825. He
was boiling mercury and when it
faded, a part of aluminum was found
inside it. Later on, it got its name
from Latin. Alumen in Latin means
bitter salt, which was described as
aluminum back then.
