In 2014, by contrast, the US ranked sixth in primary aluminum production, and provided only 3.5% of world production. US production of primary aluminum peaked in 1980 at 4.64 million metric tons. Since then, US primary aluminum production has fallen by more than half, but secondary production has increased, making up much of the difference.
The Aluminum Association is a trade association for the aluminum production, fabrication and recycling industries, and their suppliers. [1] The Association is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia, United States.
This is a list of Superfund sites in Virginia designated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) environmental law.The CERCLA federal law of 1980 authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a list of polluted locations requiring a long-term response to clean up hazardous material contaminations.

Aluminum can prices vary by region and are based on weight. The average recycling value per pound of cans in the U.S. is currently $0.56. How many aluminum cans are in a pound?
Particles of refractory material in contact with aluminium can detach and become inclusions. We can find graphite inclusions (C), alumina inclusions (alpha-Al 2 O 3), CaO, SiO 2, … After some time, graphite refractory in contact with aluminium will react to create aluminum carbides (harder and more detrimental inclusions).

The Hall–Héroult process is the major industrial process for smelting aluminium.It involves dissolving aluminium oxide (alumina) (obtained most often from bauxite, aluminium's chief ore, through the Bayer process) in molten cryolite and electrolyzing the molten salt bath, typically in a purpose-built cell.
Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air.
