Aluminum is an element that naturally comes in many different compounds in the ground. The ore (bauxite mainly) has to be smelted and refined to produce pure aluminum.
The most widely used commercial process is known as the "Hall Process", in which aluminum is obtained at one or more cathodes by electrolysis of a molten salt of aluminum.

No, smelled is but not smelt
The process is made mechanically using a foil rolling mill.
It requires large amounts of electrical energy, unlike reduction with carbon which is much cheaper, but not always practical.
you need to smelt bauxite
Aluminum is derived from a rock called Bauxite, which consists of a mixture of up to three aluminum minerals. Bascally they mine it, smelt it (heat to very high temperatures) and you get aluminum. You'll probably get a better answer form someone who is more familiar with the process, but that's a very rough idea.
Electrolysis
Aluminium was unknown to the Romans as they did not have the technology to produce it. --------------------------------------------------- You can not smelt aluminium or in a furnace, the process requires electricity. The Romans did not have electricity and therefore the metal aluminium was unknown to them
Ionic bonding.
Aluminum is widely used for many things, so there is a constant need for it. Recycling used aluminum goods into new aluminum takes only a fraction of the energy needed to smelt new aluminum from bauxite ore. Hence, recycling aluminum is "green" in two ways: It reduces energy use, and it preserved the deposits of aluminum ore (bauxite) still in the ground.
Smelt maybe?

Smelt can have a number of meanings: 1. The past tense of to smell. Similar words are detected or inhaled. 2. A small fish. A similar word is sardine. 3. To process metal into usable form.
"Despite several showers, Donald still smelt like the sewers he had spent hours walking through.""His cologne smelt expensive."
aluminum is used during high presentations because of the separation process of the ore to refined aluminum used extreme amounts of energy(back then)
Yes it is a word, it is used for like "I am goign to smelt the iron ore into a sword" Condesnsing a metal into a liquid to be used for other purposes
