Alumina
Alumina
Alumina is the common name given to aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Alumina is produced from bauxite, an ore that is mined from topsoil in various tropical and subtropical regions. The Bayer process, discovered in 1887, is the primary process by which alumina is extracted from bauxite.
Calcined Petroleum Coke
Calcined Petroleum Coke
Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is the product from calcining petroleum coke. This coke is the product of the coker unit in a crude oil refinery. The calcined petroleum coke is used to make anodes for the aluminium industry.
Aluminium Fluoride
Aluminium Fluoride
Aluminium fluoride refers to inorganic compounds with the formula AlF3·xH2O. They are all colorless solids. Anhydrous AlF3 is used in the production of aluminium metal.
Cryolite
Cryolite
Cryolite, colourless to white halide mineral, sodium aluminum fluoride (Na3AlF6). It occurs in a large deposit at Ivigtut, Greenland, and in small amounts in Spain, Colorado, U.S., and elsewhere. It is used as a solvent for bauxite in the electrolytic production of aluminum and has various other metallurgical applications, and it is used in the glass and enamel industries, in bonded abrasives as a filler, and in the manufacture of insecticides.

Crushed bath
Crushed Bath
Bath Material is the electrolyte used in the Hall-Héroult process to produce primary aluminium. It’s also known as Secondary Cryolite, Crushed Bath, Bath Cryolite, Pure Bath, Bath and tapped Bath Material.
Anode
Anode
An aluminum anode is a type of sacrificial anode. Pre-baked Anode is produced from Tar, CPC (Calcined Petroleum Coke) and Anode Butts.
Cathode
Cathode
Aluminium is produced by the electrolysis of molten alumina in a Hall–Heroult cell. A Hall–Heroult Cell is a carbon lined reaction vessel which acts as the cathode with carbon anodes dipped into the alumina-cryolite electrolyte. The amount of aluminium produced can be calculated using Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis.
Aluminium ingot
Aluminium ingot
An ingot is a piece of relatively pure material, usually metal, that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing.
Aluminium Scrap
Aluminium Scrap
Consists of clean, low copper aluminium siding scrap, painted one or two sides, free of plastic coating, iron, dirt, corrosion, fiber, foam, or fiberglass backing or other non‐metallic items.
Magnesium
Magnesium
Magnesium
is silvery white and very light. The addition of magnesium to aluminum
increases strength and improves their strain hardening ability, forming alloys.
Manganese
Manganese
Manganese is a hard brittle silvery metal, often found in minerals in combination with iron. The addition of manganese to aluminum increases strength and improves strain hardening while not appreciably reducing ductility or corrosion resistance.
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon is a hard, brittle crystalline sold with a blue-grey metallic lustre. Silicon alone in aluminum produces a nonheat-treatable alloy. In combination with magnesium, it produces a precipitation hardening heat-treatable alloy.
Aluminium Alloys
Aluminium Alloys
Aluminium alloys are alloys in which aluminium is the predominant metal. Other elements, such as Zinc, Iron, Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Silicon are added to pure aluminium in order to enhance its properties.
Spar
Spar
Spar has crystalline powder appearance, composed of calcium and fluorine, forming CaF2. It occurs as cubic, isometric crystals and cleavable masses.
