I never heard of alimimium but i do know that aluminiumcan be made from Bauxite ore. The process.

Aluminium oxide has a melting point of about 2,000 °C (3,600 °F). Therefore, it must be extracted by electrolysis. In this process, the aluminium oxide is dissolved in molten cryolitewith calcium fluoride and then reduced to the pure metal. The operational temperature of the reduction cells is around 950 to 980 °C (1,740 to 1,800 °F).

What is the difference between raw materials with market transport?

Raw materials are the natural elements you find on Earth. For example, timber, iron, gold, fish, aluminum, and things of that nature. The transport market is where you transport these materials to a plant or factory to be processed. It is all about where you place this factory. For example, if you were turning timber into paper, you would probably locate the plant near the raw material.


What are benefits of raw materials?

Raw materials are used to produce basic metal and chemical products, which are then used to produce finished goods. For example Bauxite is the basic raw material used to make aluminum ingot, which is then remelted, alloyed, and cast into products as varied as aluminum pistons, beer cans, aluminum wheels and hoods for your car, or many parts in airplanes. Crude oil is another raw material with varied used; when refined in a 'cracking tower', it produces products ranging from kerosine to gasoline to heavy fuel to petrochemicals.


Are the raw materials of aluminum hard to get?

Aluminum is the third most common material in the Earth's crust. It is found in bauxite (primary source), feldspar, kaolin clays and numerous other minerals. While the raw materials are easy to find, some are harder to process than others. Bauxite is an easily available and easily processed source.Aluminum asides: Napoleon was criticized for wanting to outfit his troops with this "very rare" metal. This was before the electrical methods of production (Hall Heroult Process) was developed. At the time of the construction of the Washington Monument (1884) aluminum and silver both sold for the same price. The 2.85 kg piece used was the largest cast aluminum object in he world.
