ALUMINIUM (ORIGION TO APPLICATIONS)
Non-ferrous metal material is widely used in almost everyday life. ORIGIN OF ALUMINUM: A rock named a bauxite ore forms from laterite soil which has likely an appearance of reddish clay. a rock founds in the tropical or subtropical regions (An earth that lies roughly middle of the Globe). Bauxite is not full of Aluminum. It has a relatively higher content of Aluminum. Apart from Aluminum, bauxite is comprised and available of: Silica - inorganic ceramic materials composed of silicon dioxide -SiO2-, IRON Oxide - chemical compounds composed of iron and oxygen - , TITANIUM DIOXIDE TiO2 - A naturally occurring oxide sourced from ilmenite, rutile and anatase these are the main minerals of TiO2-, Even Aluminum oxide Compounds -Alumina-. Several other most important ores do exist in relative percentage of Aluminum. (i) Silicate: i. Kaolin (Al2 O3.2SiO2.2H2O) ...
