Aluminium is too reactive chemically to occur in nature as a free metal. Instead it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. The chief source of aluminum is bauxite ore. (source from Wikipedia.org)

Is Bauxite a iron ore?
No, Bauxite is not a type of iron ore. it is an ore of aluminum.
How do we get metals?
Metals are generally mined in the form of ore. Ore is processed to extract the metal from the ore (known as smelting)
Can you heat the mixture of carbon and aluminum oxide to extract aluminum?
no
Is there a mineral where Aluminum could be extracted from?
An Ore.
Is energy saved if we recycle metals?
Yes, you save all the energy that would have been needed to mine fresh ore from the ground and to extract the metal from that ore. The amount of energy needed to collect and sort the recycled metals is insignificant compared to this (especially for metals like aluminum that are very hard to extract from their ores).You only need to use the energy needed to melt the pure metal, which you would have needed anyway after extraction of new metal from fresh ore.
Which ore is aluminum extract from?
which ore is aluminum extracted from
How can we extract metal from bauxite ore?
Extracting aluminum from bauxite ore requires a large amount of electricity.
Aluminum and titanium were do you get from?
You extract it form its ore. For titanium you use the kroll process and for aluminum you use electrolysis.
What is made out of aluminum ore?
Aluminum is made out of aluminum ore.
What ore is mined in order to obtain aluminum?
Bauxite is the main ore of aluminum.
What mineral is in a soda can?
A soda can is made of aluminum, which is not considered a mineral because it is produced by artificial means. Aluminum does not occur in elemental form in nature. The main ore from which we extract aluminum is bauxite, which contains aluminous minerals such as gibbsite, bohemite, and diaspore.
What is the definition of refining an ore?
To refine an ore means to extract the valuable metal that is inside the ore.
Where do you extract copper?
Copper Ore.
Element produced in kitimat?
The element that is produced in kitimat is aluminum. This is because kitimat mainly comes from bauxite, which is a type of aluminum ore.
Is Bauxite a iron ore?
No, Bauxite is not a type of iron ore. it is an ore of aluminum.
Why is bauxite considered an ore?
it certainly is, it is the primary aluminum ore.
Does aluminum have an ore?
Yes it does
