Conversely, in the Hall–Heroult process, only one cation is present that can be reduced (Al 3 +), but there are three species that can be oxidized: C, O 2−, and F −. In the Hall–Heroult process, C is oxidized instead of O 2− or F − because oxygen and fluorine are more electronegative than carbon, which means that C is a weaker ...

The process stages are: 1. Milling. The bauxite is washed and crushed, reducing the particle size and increasing the available surface area for the digestion stage. Lime and "spent liquor" (caustic soda returned from the precipitation stage) are added at the mills to make a pumpable slurry. 2.

It involves dissolving aluminium oxide (alumina) (obtained most often from bauxite, aluminium's chief ore, through the Bayer process) in molten cryolite, and electrolysing the molten salt bath, typically in a purpose-built cell. The Hall–Héroult process applied at industrial scale happens at 940–980°C and produces 99.5–99.8% pure aluminium.

So we use cryolite which serves two purposes: Cryolite acts as a solvent for alumina and dissolves it. It increases the conductivity of the melt and decreases the melting point of alumina to about ≈ 950 ∘C ≈ 950 ∘ C. Thus a suitable composition of the bath is required to make the process possible and feasible. Share.

On February 23, 1886, Hall had his first success. After running current through his equipment, small amounts of aluminum were precipitated. The Hall–Héroult process was invented independently and almost simultaneously in 1886 by Paul Héroult, a French chemist. In 1888, Hall opened the first large-scale aluminum production plant in Pittsburgh.
