  Aluminium
Powdered aluminium and rust in the approximate ratio of 1:3 are packed in a refractory crucible with a magnesium ribbon, or a powder of magnesium and barium peroxide, to ignite it.
Aluminium can be protected by a thick layer of oxide made by electrolysis, a process called "anodizing." The surface is first thoroughly cleaned and degreased in trichloroethylene, or by electrolysis, where the aluminium is the cathode and the grease driven off by the evolved hydrogen.
Aluminium sulphate is found in nature as the rare mineral Kalinite, which is soluble in water, so it is found only near volcanoes and such places where it is make by the action of sulphuric acid on clays, such as on Lipari, near Vesuvius, and a few places in Germany and South America.

 Diseases Associated with Aluminium Intoxication---H. Tomlinson, M.B.
The intestinal intoxication produced by aluminium is a potent factor in upsetting the gland balance, and it is the ability to produce this effect which gives aluminium its part in being one of the causes of cancer.
The intestinal intoxication caused by aluminium can be a very potent cause of rheumatism, either directly, or by its effèct on the hormone producers, the ductless glands.
A sensitiveness to aluminium can develop in a person who has never met with the metal before—as in the case of a savage on a desert island who, on contact with civilization, can develop aluminium symptoms.

 Greek Aluminium
On the basis of data from the Greek Aluminium Association, the turnover of the aluminium sector in 1999 is estimated at approximately 660 billion drachmas, up by 6% in relation to the previous year.
It should be noted that the aluminium lamination secondary product processing sector consists of a range of enterprises while a small number of companies control a large share of the market.
The development of the domestic market in aluminium lamination products is related to the trends in demand for secondary production products and in particular to packaging items as well as to a possible expansion of the use of aluminium in new markets/products.

 Aluminium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aluminium also is subject to internal stresses and strains when it is overheated; the tendency of the metal to creep under these stresses tends to result in delayed distortions.
Aluminium nitride, AlN, can be made from the elements at 800°C. It is hydrolysed by water to form ammonia and aluminium hydroxide.
Aluminium oxide, Al, occurs naturally as corundum, and can be made by burning aluminium in oxygen or by heating the hydroxide, nitrate or sulfate.

 ALUMINIUM Weltmesse, 20. – 22. September 2006, Essen
Sunny, almost overheating due to a stable high-pressure zone: the weather during this year’s ALUMINIUM almost seemed symbolic for the aluminium industry which showed itself in the best of spirits at the 6th World Fair and exceeded all previous records with healthy two-digit growth figures.
ALUMINIUM also set new records both in terms of exhibitors, with the number of 685 exhibiting companies (2004: 613) and of the exhibition stand space rented out in the seven trade fair halls which increased by 16 percent to 23,900 sqm (2004: 20,565 sqm).
The application fields of aluminium are nearly unlimited: the Minister of Economy of Northrhine-Westphalia Dr Christa Thoben has opened the world’s leading market place with a dance with a roboter made of aluminium.

Of the recovered aluminium, 164,216 tonnes was re-used to produce more aluminium cans, while the remainder was used in die-casting or for other products used by the car part and steel sectors, the official said.
While demand for the cans for beer is expected to grow a few percent in 2000/01, demand for aluminium cans for soft drinks is expected to decline in 2000/01 on a major shift within the Japanese beverage market from cans to PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, the sources said.

 Beverage can - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The can was opened by punching two holes in the lid, a large one for drinking through, and a small one that allowed air in to replace the displaced fluid.
A major disadvantage of this closure method was that a consumer could open a press button can and either remove, replace or taint its contents, before agitating (shaking) the can with sufficiently enough to force the press buttons to re-seal the can, with little evidence of the can ever being tampered with.
Finally, the top rim of the can is trimmed and pressed inward or "necked" to form a taper conical where the can will later be filled and the lid (usually made of an aluminum alloy with magnesium) attached.

 Avoid aluminium
For another a glass bottle is much heavier than an aluminium can - so the transport cost of glass bottles is much higher, and because of the shape of a bottle compared to a can, the bottles take up much more space (transport costs again).
Aluminium production is very electricity intensive which is why smelters are often constructed along with hydro-electric schemes as at Kinlochleven in Scotland.
Aluminium has some advantages over bottles for beverages (eg transport and packaging advantages), but if we were a little more sensible and returned to policies of bottle re-use (as they do in Germany), then glass would probably have the edge, I guess.
