crystalline Silicate rock like feldspar fourmaline, Mice etc. It is also occurs in the
Oxide form, aluminum has strong Ionization energy and tends to form more
Covalent compound. It renders unreactivates because of the presence of a stable
Oxide film on its surface. The primary aluminum production process consists of
three stages. First is Mining of Bauxite, followed by refining of Bauxite to
aluminum and finally smelting of alumina to aluminum.

magnetic. The consumption for building products and cooking utensils is
somewhat greater than for the transportation field.
