Actual energy consumption

As aluminium electrolysis is governed by Faraday’s law

27/3=9 gm of Al is produced by 96484 coulombs

1 gm …………………by 96484/9=10720.44 coulombs
1 kg …………… …... by 10720.44 x 103 coulombs
1 kg ……………….... by 10720.44 x 103 Ampere.sec
1 kg ……………….... by 10720.44 x 103 /3600 Ampere.hr
1 kg ……………….... by 2.98 kA.hr
