ALUMUNIUM

INTRODUCTION FEATURES OF GLOBAL ALUMUNIUM MODEL BAYER’S PROCESS OF ALUMUNIUM EXTRACTION

Besides the steel or the ferrous industry the
larges non ferrous metal industry across the
globe is the aluminum industry. It is the most
abundant material on earth today after the likes
of silicon and Oxygen
It has tremendous demand and as of now the
demand today in 2019 is estimated to be 65
Million Tonnes

KEY DATA

Melting point: 660°C (1220°F).

Boiling point: 2467°C (4473°F).
Atomic number: 13 (one aluminum atom contains 13
protons, 13 electrons, and 14 neutrons).
Aluminum Consumption
Relative atomic mass: 26.98.
One of the most important and versatile materials in engineering with an world
consumption of about 65 MT as of 2019 aluminium finds usage in construction, labs
,electronics and other miscellaneous areas of application. The consumption has References
drastically increased from what it was in the 1990’s at 29MT to about 38MT in the
early 2000 and since then it has witnessed a growth of 5% year on year to reach about The Aluminium Association, Inc., 2003 – 2006, USA,
