These plants are situated in Iceland to take advantage of its abundance of hydroelectric and geothermalelectric energy that is important for smelting aluminum from alumina.
Incidentally, the extraction plants are not in Reykjavik but some distance away.

Bauxite ore is the base for aluminium and is more plentiful than gold ore. It is also cheaper to polish to the finished product. Aluminium has many more uses than gold so is readily adaptable to the consumer market. by Ruwayda :)
How does a catalyst speed a reaction at low temperatures?
Catalysts will lower the activation energy needed for a certain reaction to happen. For example in the extraction of Aluminium from Bauxite (Aluminium Oxide) The melting point of Al2O3 is about 2000oC. But with the catalyst Cryolite (Na3AlF6), the overall melting point is lowered to about 950oC,
What are the two processes in the extraction of aluminium that require large amounts of energy?
You need a lot energy to melt the metal compound and then you'd need a great deal of electrical energy to extract the metal from the molten compound.
What disadvantages are there when recycling a metal such as aluminium?

What is successive extraction of plant root constituents?
It is the extraction of plant root constituents by successively mixing it with solvents of different polarity
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.
