Hello! I need help with this specific question. From what raw material is aluminium extracted from?

OpenStudy (snowflake13):

I think Aluminium oxide (alumina)? That's the first thing that popped up when I searched it.

OpenStudy (snowflake13):

or bauxite ore

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Many of us said those replies in class but my teacher said they were wrong.

OpenStudy (snowflake13):

okay, I'll do some more digging. one sec

OpenStudy (snowflake13):

I'm still just coming up with bauxite. this might take another minute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (snowflake13):

Bauxite consists of 45-60% aluminum oxide so it's not aluminum oxide or alumina. I can only find bauxite. Sorry! :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, thank you for your help!

OpenStudy (photon336):

Pretty sure that's from bauxite ore containing aluminium oxide
