Jul 06, 2016#0183;#32;Highly reactive metals such as aluminum, for example, can be isolated using an electric current in a technique known as electrolysis. Less reactive metals like iron can be extracted with reduction, where oxygen is removed from the ore through a reaction with carbon or carbon dioxide.
On some surface deposits there is no overburden, and on others, the bauxite may be covered by up to 20 metres of rock and clay. On average, overburden thickness is around 2 metres. The bauxite layer beneath the overburden is broken up using methods such
Other methods include shrinkage stope mining, which is mining upward, creating a sloping underground room, long wall mining, which is grinding a long ore surface underground, and room and pillar mining, which is removing ore from rooms while leaving pillars in place to support the roof of the room.

The Basics of Aluminum Mining and Processing Bauxite ore, found in flat, layered deposits beneath the surface of the earth, is loosened with explosives once bulldozers have cleared the surface above. Using the Bayer Process, which involves the use of heat, pressure and sodium hydroxide, the aluminum oxide is separated from impurities, as well as iron ore.
Strip Mining. Type of mining used where the terrain is flat. An earthmover strips away the overburden, and a power shovel digs a cut to remove the mineral deposit. After removal of the mineral, the trench is filled with overburden, and a new cut is made parallel to the previous one.

Jul 06, 2016#0183;#32;Typically, this is done through two basic techniques: subsurface (underground) and surface mining. Surface mining is both the less expensive of the two and the goto method when the desired minerals are located near the surface of the Earth.
Four main methods of mining are available: underground, open surface (pit), placer and insitu mining. Underground mines are more expensive and often used to reach deposits that are deeper. Surface mines are usually used for deposits that are shallower and less valuable.
Aluminum remained a laboratory curiosity until a French scientist, Henri SainteClaire Deville, announced a major improvement in W#246;hlers method, which permitted W#246;hlers pinheads to coalesce into lumps the size of marbles. Devilles process became the foundation of the aluminum industry.
The purified aluminum is then poured into molds and cooled rapidly by spraying cold water over the metal. Some of the aluminum siphoned from the potlines isn''t alloyed or cleaned. Instead, it''s poured directly into molds, where it cools slowly and hardens to form foundry (or remelt) ingots. Primary aluminum plants sell remelt ingots to foundries.
Aqueous methods divided into Placer (Panning, Sluicing, Hydraulic Mining, and Dredging) and solution methods (Insitu leaching (ISL) and Heap Leaching). Among them, solution mining and placer

Start by making a staircase down until you reach the level where the preferred ore is most generally found, and begin mining. Occasionally change directions and make numerous branches. If there is a rise, plow through it. If there is a fall, bridge it with cobble. OCD Mining. This form of mining is reasonably simple. Find or make a cave.
Aluminium Mining includes open pit mining or surface mining process for extraction.
This bulk underground mining method involves mining large amounts of material from a single stope similar to cut and fill, this method starts at the bottom of a level and moves upward. Ore is removed from the bottom, and then more ore is blasted from a higher level that falls to the same level to be removed, with the process repeating up the orebody.
