Metal Waste

Activity – Present this short history of Aluminium as a Timeline

Although Aluminium is the third most plentiful element known to man, it was only in 1808 that Sir Humphrey Davy established its existence
In 1825 a Danish scientist, Oersted , produced the first tiny pellet of the metal
In 1845 German scientist, Wohler, established one of its outstanding characteristics – lightness
Research into Aluminium then shifted to France, enabling Henri Saint-Clair Deville to display a solid bar of the metal at a Paris exhibition in 1855. The production cost made it more precious than gold or silver
In 1866, two scientists, a Frenchman Paul Louis Toussaint Heroult and American Charles Martin Hall, working separately and unaware of each other, came up with a new process which made making Aluminium much cheaper
The first Aluminium production companies were subsequently founded in 1888 in France, the United States and Switzerland
