How aluminium is made?

In: Animal Life [Edit categories]

Answer:

electrolysis of its molten ore bauxite (Al2O3)
Aluminium is an element "AL"and therefore is made only of aluminum.

Aluminium is mostly derived from an ore called Bauxite, and from this, the aluminum is electrically refined using a flux to enhance the process.
The ores are cheap and readily available, and the cost of the metal is mainly the cost of the electrical power.
