aluminiumsproduksjon
Aluminiumsproduksjon refers to the industrial process of manufacturing aluminum metal. The primary method for producing aluminum is the Hall-Héroult process, which involves the electrolysis of alumina (aluminum oxide) dissolved in molten cryolite. Alumina itself is obtained from bauxite ore through the Bayer process.
The Hall-Héroult process requires significant electrical energy, making the location of aluminum smelters often dependent on
Secondary aluminum production, or recycling, is also a crucial part of the overall aluminum supply. This involves
