Aluminum From Clay Could Transform Ore Mines
A TVA chemist at Muscle Shoals Alabama has refined a process to produce aluminum from common clay. If economical, this could threaten Arkansas bauxite mines, as demand for aluminum soars beyond current electrolytic production. The breakthrough traces to Charles Martin Hall’s 1886 electrolytic method, which turned aluminum from precious to industrial metal. The Arkansas find, if scalable, may redefine supply dynamics and national progress.
