Aluminum (Al) is a metal with a density of 2812.5 kg/m³ and is characterised by its high resistance to corrosion, as well as being a good conductor of electricity and heat, it is easily machined. It melts at 660 ºC. This metal comes only from the extraction of the ore, called bauxite. It is first transformed into bauxite by a process called Bayer and then into aluminium metal by electrolysis.

Aluminum recycling

The recycling of aluminium is tremendously important, due to the high cost of obtaining it because of the energy consumption required, which is solved by its low recycling cost, taking into account that aluminium is the third most common element in the earth’s crust.

Aluminum is 100% recyclable without changing its physical qualities and the aluminium recycling process requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminium.

Recycled aluminium is called secondary aluminium, maintaining the same properties as primary aluminium. The recycling of secondary aluminium requires specialised techniques, which vary depending on the type of scrap to be melted. In addition, in order to carry out an optimal aluminium recycling process, a thorough selection and separation of the scrap must be carried out in order to achieve the desired alloy.
