Aluminum comes mostly from an aluminum ore called bauxite. It is mined out of the ground in large geological formations found in Ghana, Indonesia, Jamaica, Russia and Surinam, but it is also abundantly deposited in Australia and Brazil. We recover the bauxite and process it concentrate the aluminum, which is combined with oxygen and oxygen-hydrogen ions in the minerals of the ore.
