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.

What are the two processes in the extraction of aluminium that require large amounts of energy?

The two processes in the extraction of aluminium that require large amounts of energy are electrolysis of alumina to produce aluminium metal and the production of alumina from bauxite through the Bayer process. Both processes involve high temperatures and consume significant amounts of electricity.

Why aluminium was not used extensively until modern times although it is the most abundant metal on the earth?

Aluminium is very difficult to extract from its ore and was costly to produce before modern extraction methods were developed. Additionally, early methods for producing aluminium were inefficient and produced impure metal. It was only in the late 19th century that more efficient extraction methods were discovered, allowing aluminium to be produced on a larger scale and at a more affordable cost.
