Aluminum - easily melting metal. Without it it is quite difficult to present modern life. Do wires of aluminum, cover the case of planes, it well carries current. It is possible to extract metal not only on production, but also in house conditions.
It is required to you
- Clay, graphite powder, welding machine, iron barrel, any non-residential premise.
Instruction
1. Find the non-residential premise, a garage or the shed. In it surely there has to be a current source for further work.
2. Aluminum is extracted from bauxites. Dig out in the forest, the field or on any pit of clay. In 100 kg of clay there are from 30 to 70 kg of aluminum. Dry up it in the sun or by means of any drying device. It is required for the subsequent actions.
3. Glyn needs to crush. For this purpose it is put in the concrete mixer. It is possible to spread out clay on any surface and to crush any heavy subject. If it is a little of it, use a usual household grater. It is important that clay was completely dry. Crush until powder turns out. From it much easier and quicker it will turn out to extract metal.
4. Mix clay powder with graphite powder. It can be got in any hardware store or in the market. Graphite is required for improvement of structure of aluminum. He on himself very well carries current. The amount of powder of graphite depends on that, how carried out you want to make aluminum. If this metal is necessary to you for any works with energy, add graphite in calculation of 20 kg on 100 kg of clay. If for something another, take 10 kg.
5. Fill up the turned-out powder mix in a big iron barrel. Fill in with water. Humidity there have to be not less than 75%. Water - the good conductor of current and therefore process of production will go quicker. By means of the welding machine or any other powerful device give tension to a barrel. Be extremely careful. Do not touch a barrel, especially damp. Thanks to powerful current and powder of graphite in 5-8 seconds there will be an oxygen otshchepleniye from clay and aluminum alloy is formed. The source of supply of electricity needs to be disconnected.
6. Leave a barrel at several o'clock that it cooled down. Pull out the lumps which turned out in process. It is also alloy. It is possible to clean or leave it in this look.
