Aluminum is extracted from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum oxide is found, through a refining process known as the Bayer process. The bauxite is mixed sodium hydroxide and heated, which separates the aluminum oxide because it dissolves in the sodium hydroxide while the rest of the bauxite does not.

What metal can be extracted from bauxite ore?
Bauxite contains aluminum oxide, from which aluminum metal is refined.
What is the name of the most common aluminium ore?
Bauxite . Chemically it is Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
Is aluminium extracted by heating their oxides with carbon?
No, it cannot be extracted this way as aluminium is a much stronger reducing agent than carbon and has greater affinity to oxygen. It is rather extracted by the process of electrolysis by passing electricity through molten aluminum ore which is bauxite mixed with cryolite.
How and why aluminum is extracted by electrolysis?
Aluminium is extracted using electrolysis only! Electrolysis is the process where ionic substances are broken down into simpler substances using electricity
Is aluminum an ore explain?
yes an aluminium is an ore, it it found in a rock and can be extracted very easily
What metal is extracted from alumina?
Aluminium is extracted from alumina.
What is the difference between bauxite and aluminum?
Bauxite is the ore of aluminium, from which aluminium is is extracted.
Why is soil not used as a raw material for aluminium?
because aluminium is extracted from bauxite
Why aluminium is not extracted from alumina by pyrometallurgical operations?
aluminium has greater tendancy to bind to oxygen than carbon,so it cannot be extracted
What is aluminum extracted from?
bauxite->alumina->aluminium
Is aluminium extracted from charcoal?
No, aluminum comes from Bauxite.
What are aliminium and iron extracted from?
Aluminium is mainly extracted from Bauxite, which is Aluminium oxide(Al2O3). Iron is mainly extracted from Hematite, which is Iron(III) oxide(Fe2O3). Some other minerals of Iron are Pyrite(FeS2) and Magnetite(Fe3O4).
What metal can be extracted from bauxite ore?
Bauxite contains aluminum oxide, from which aluminum metal is refined.
How is aluminum extracted from it's ore?
Aluminium ore is called bauxite. The bauxite is purified to yield a white powder, aluminium oxide, from witch aluminium can be extracted. The extraction is done by electrolysis. But first the aluminium oxide must be made molten so that electricity can pass through it.
Name the metals extracted by electrolysis?
aluminium bromide lead
Which are the sources of the element aluminum?
Aluminium is extracted from bauxite or cryolite.
What is the name of the most common aluminium ore?
Bauxite . Chemically it is Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
