What is Carbothermic Alumina Reduction Review about?
This document reviews carbothermic reduction as an alternative process to produce aluminum. The current Hall-Héroult electrolytic process uses large amounts of energy and produces significant greenhouse gas emissions. Carbothermic reduction could substantially improve sustainability by directly reducing alumina with carbon at high temperatures. Previous processes resulted in low aluminum yields due to formation of aluminum carbides and oxycarbides. Novel concepts being developed aim to overcome these issues
