Put simply, aluminum production starts with the metal-rich ore bauxite. After a series of chemical reactions, a powdery ...

Cations can be classified as either acidic (acid- forming) or basic. The common acidic cations are hydrogen and aluminum; common basic ones are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. The proportion ...

The spontaneity of redox reactions is demonstrated using copper, zinc, and silver, and their cations. When solid zinc is placed in Cu2+ solution, the blue color of the solution becomes less intense as ...

Aluminum (Al) has been considered as a material susceptible to corrosion, but it will become key to core technology in producing clean hydrogen energy. Recently, a POSTECH research team succeeded in ...
