Why was aluminium expensive a hundred years ago?
because there wasnt that much
Why is it economic to recycle aluminium cans but less so for steel cans?
Because the amount of energy needed to reduce metallic aluminium from its ores is much larger than the amount of energy required to reduce iron from its ores. Reprocessing aluminium is therefore cheaper than smelting new aluminium by a larger margin than that for reprocessed iron. Also, but to a much smaller extent, because recycled aluminium is a much more uniform product, which melts directly to a material that can be used, whereas recycled steel tends to consist of a great mixture of different alloys, and melts to a material with all sorts of admixtures that is not suitable for many uses without further refining.
What impact on life today would there be without aluminium?
Without aluminum, many everyday items like beverage cans, kitchen foil, and car parts would be much heavier and more expensive. The aerospace, construction, and transportation industries would also face challenges in finding alternative materials with the same strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance as aluminum.
How much aluminium is in 1 ton of aluminium oxide?
1000 kg aluminium oxide contain 470,588 kg aluminium.
Why aluminium is not extracted from alumina by pyrometallurgical operations?
Aluminium is not extracted from alumina by pyrometallurgical operations because the melting point of alumina is very high (over 2000°C), making it energetically intensive and expensive to extract aluminium through traditional pyrometallurgical methods. Instead, aluminium is typically extracted from alumina using the Hall-Héroult process, which involves electrolysis at a much lower temperature.
How much are aluminium cans worth in PA?

What is the advantages of using aluminium cans?
Aluminium is light, strong and cheap. It is easily and cleanly recycled.If you drop it it doesn't break, like glass.It doesn't puncture as easily as plastic or cardboard food and drink containers.It is light so it doesn't cost so much to transport it.
How much aluminium would be required to make 34.5g of aluminium oxide by reacting it with oxygen?
9.13g Al will give 34.5g Al2O3 when fully oxidized
How much does 300 cans of coke cost?
This would depend on how much one can of coke costs.
How much aluminium is in 1 ton of aluminium oxide?
1000 kg aluminium oxide contain 470,588 kg aluminium.
How much money would you get recycling a pound of beer cans?
It depends on how much a pound of aluminum is going for. The fact that they're beer cans won't make any difference.
How Much Cans Are Recycled in a year in Australia?
6 cans
How many cans could a can man can if a can man could can cans?
As much as he can can-can
