from bauxite, aluminium's chief ore, through the Bayer process) in molten cryolite and electrolyzing the molten salt bath, typically in a purpose-built cell...

Electrolyte: The electrolyte is a molten bath of cryolite (Na3AlF6) and dissolved alumina. Cryolite is a good solvent for alumina with low melting point...

Peder Christian Abildgaard (1740–1801), occurs naturally as the mineral cryolite and is used extensively in the industrial production of aluminium. The...
