Primary aluminum production is achieved by the combination of two metallurgical processes: (a) the Bayer process, which refines bauxite to metallurgicalgrade alumina (MGAl 2 O 3), and (b) the HallHéroult process, which produces aluminum metal by electrolytically reducing MGAl 2 O 3 in a cryolite bath. Increasing the sustainability of both these processes and of the entire primary ...
