Data emisji: Gru 14, 2016

I make aluminium metal from dirt. there are a lot of chemicial reactions in this video, here is a list of the main ones: feldspar to clay; 4KAlSi3O8 + 4H+ + 2H2O = 2K+ +Al4Si4O10(OH)8 +8SiO2 clay to aluminium hydoxide and silicious acid (unbalanced); Al4Si4O10(OH)8 + H2O + H+ = Al(OH)3 + H2SiO4 Aluminium hydroxide forming from aluminium chloride; AlCl3 + 3 NaOH = 3 NaCl + Al(OH)3 aluminium hydroxide calcination; 2Al(OH)3 = Al2O3 + 3H2O eletrolisis of cryolite solution (overall); Al2O3 + 3 C
