Abstract
In this article, an overview of aluminum reduction from oxides and other aluminum compounds is provided. Specific topical coverage addressed are: physical chemistry of aluminum reduction, smelting processes including: the Hall-Héroult Process, the ALCAN Process, the Alcoa process, the Elliot-Mitt Process, and others. In addition, direct reduction of aluminum alloys, and electrodes for aluminum production are discussed.
