New Way for Production of Aluminum Found by Scientists
Lawrence scientists at the University of Kansas report a cheap new process to extract aluminum from Kansas clay deposits containing vast untapped quantities. Lab tests show about 70 percent recovery with potential for larger yields, using an electrolytic method after obtaining alumina. A pilot plant could cost about 10,000 dollars and a full plant roughly 150,000 dollars for 20 tons per day.
