- Abstract
Modern aluminium production method (the Hall-Herault process) had no principal changes during more than 100 years. It is characteristic for low specific capacity (about 1 kg/m2*h), high energy intensity and has insufficient ecological characteristics. A large quantity of researches aimed to develop new and improve existing methods of aluminium production were carried out in the 70-80th years of the past century. The most considerable progress was achieved by carbothermic reduction method and non-classical electrolytic processes (low-temperature electrolysis of chloride and fluoride melts with «inert» (low-consumable) vertical electrodes). A review of basic researches made in this field is also given in this paper.
