Molten aluminium ore being poured
Aluminium production. Molten aluminium ore being poured into an electrolysis cell. The ore is aluminium oxide (alumina) which is melted with a mixture of synthetic cryolite (sodium aluminium fluoride) and calcium fluoride. This molten mixture is then put into a furnace where carbon electrodes are used to isolate the aluminium by electrolysis.. Photographed at the UAZ-RUSAL factory at Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing process of aluminium production at the UAZ-RUSAL factory in Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia. The image showcases the pouring of molten aluminium ore into an electrolysis cell, revealing a dark and atmospheric scene that exudes industrial prowess. The ore being poured is none other than aluminium oxide, also known as alumina. To achieve this molten state, it is combined with a mixture of synthetic cryolite (sodium aluminium fluoride) and calcium fluoride. This fiery concoction is then carefully transferred to a furnace where carbon electrodes are employed for electrolysis – isolating the precious metal itself: aluminium. The photograph radiates with intense heat as the glowing fluid cascades into the electrolysis cell. It offers a glimpse into the intricate world of metallurgy and highlights how science and technology come together to shape our modern industries. With its striking composition and rich details, this image encapsulates both the raw power and delicate precision required in large-scale metal production processes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while showcasing Russia's significant role in global manufacturing. Captured by Science Photo Library, this print not only celebrates scientific achievements but also invites viewers to appreciate the beauty found within industrial landscapes.
