Aluminum

Aluminum can be produced by an Aluminum factory. It can be used for building BP's or sold. Aluminum is a chemical element with the symbol Al. Aluminum makes up about 8% of the Earth's crust, where it is the most abundant metal. The chief ore of aluminum is bauxite. Bauxite ore is heated in a pressure vessel along with a sodium hydroxide solution at a temperature of 150 to 200 °C (300 to 390 °F). At these temperatures, the aluminum is dissolved and recovered using the Bayer process.
