The strong affinity of aluminium for oxygen leads to the common occurrence of its oxides in nature. Aluminium is found on Earth primarily in rocks in the crust, where it is the third-most abundant element, after oxygen and silicon, rather than in the mantle, and virtually never as the free metal.
The aluminum cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which aluminum is moved through the environment by natural and anthropogenic processes. The biogeochemical cycle of aluminum is integral with silicon and phosphorus. For example, phosphates store aluminum that has been sedimented and aluminum is found in diatoms (made of silica). Aluminum has ...
Elsewhere in this region native indium, aluminium, tantalum, tellurium, and other metals have been reported. [citation needed] Native lead [17] is quite rare but somewhat more widespread, as are tin, [18] mercury, [19] arsenic, [20] antimony, [21] and bismuth. [22] Native chromium has been found in small grains in Sichuan, China [23] and other ...
Abundance (atom fraction) of the chemical elements in Earth's upper continental crust as a function of atomic number; [5] siderophiles shown in yellow Graphs of abundance against atomic number can reveal patterns relating abundance to stellar nucleosynthesis and geochemistry.
Aluminium forms one stable oxide with the chemical formula Al 2 O 3, commonly called alumina. [15] It can be found in nature in the mineral corundum, α-alumina; [16] there is also a γ-alumina phase. [13]

[106] [107] Overall production of aluminium peaked during the war: world production of aluminium in 1900 was 6,800 metric tons; in 1916, annual production exceeded 100,000 metric tons. [105] The war created a greater demand for aluminium, which the growing primary production was unable to fully satisfy, and recycling grew intensely as well. [103]
