Question

Aluminum is extracted by:

  1. Increasing the temperature of sodium aluminum silicate
  2. Under pressure, cryolite is treated with a sodium hydroxide solution.
  3. In a furnace, aluminum oxide is heated with coke.
  4. In fused cryolite, molten aluminum oxide is electrolyzed.

hintHint:

Hall Heroult process is used to Extract Alluminium from allumina.

The correct answer is: In fused cryolite, molten aluminum oxide is electrolyzed.


    • A process called Hall Heroult process is used to Extract alluminum from its ore.
    • Molten allumina cryolite and flourspar are used as electrolytes
    • A small voltage of 5 - 6 volts is used to prevent decomposition of cryolite
