It's not a second digester. It is called a Rod Mill to grind the material into a consistent size before adding it to caustic. It is the first step for the Bauxite. I designed some for Alcoa in America.

@johniwanaga3517 2 месяца назад

Technically, it was never rare - just expensive to produce in pure form. Even after figuring out how to process the metal from ore - a cheap source of electricity was needed to make aluminum available to the masses. Coal and oil made the real difference. No other metal's price is as dependent on cheap energy.

@rickwestlake3048 2 месяца назад

I'm a wee bit surprised that you didn't have more to say about the vast amount of electric power that's needed to convert alumina to the final-product metal. Essentially, electricity is a raw material for aluminum production -- direct-current, at 5 volts and 100 to 300 kilo-amps. Takes about 10 to 15 kilowatt-hours to produce one kg of aluminum.

@bernardkroeger4045 2 месяца назад

Don't they colloquially refer to aluminum as solidified electricity ?

@not.likely 2 месяца назад

Or how the electricity consumption of aluminum refineries impacts drastically on entire economies. The average taxpayer doesn't realise how much he is subsidizing aluminum production each time he purchases his domestic kilowatt-hours. They also don't mention the fluoride fall out from the smoke these refineries billow and how it poisons the surrounding environment where plants eventually fail to grow...or the intensely high temperatures that that the workers have to face and endure in the smelters and where pouring the aluminium solution. It is a wonderful metal but it comes at a very heavy price to mankind and the environment, so they prefer not talk about it. Australia exports much of its bauxite to countries in Africa for refining. Their pollution laws don't allow them to refine on home soil. Suffer the people of the emerging economies for the love of money
