What are 2 savings that come from recycling aluminum can?

Question

what is an ecological benefit for each? come on green team help me out here. (=

Answer 1

Mining bauxite and extracting aluminum from it requires a certain amount of pollution and a lot of electricity. In fact, until they invented a cheaper way to extract aluminum from this ore it was considered a precious metal and cost more than gold!

Recycling prevents the pollution from both this process and in many cases the generation of electricity as well as the obvious one of trash in a landfill. It also retains the ore and energy (if not renewable) for later generations.

Answer 2

1)you have a finished product that needs to be melted and reformed into a can this takes a fraction of the energy required from taking the aluminium from a base metal smelting it to get the aluminium

2)buy recycling the can you are taking the material out of the landfill

3)by recycling the can you are extending the life of a aluminium mine base metal mine and extending the working life of that mine

4)when a regular person takes in aluminium cans to a recyclers you can receive money for the deposit or for the weight of the aluminium

Answer 3

Well, the energy required to melt aluminum is far less than the energy required to change bauxite into metalic aluminum.

We save the energy required to mine and ship the bauxite to a conversion plant... offsetting that  is the energy required to get the cans to some place that melts it.

Answer 4

A) no mining of the aluminum, therefore no land destroyed.

B) no separating the aluminum with acids and so forth.  No waste or byproducts.

Answer 5

idk

Answer 6

Sounds like a homework question to me.
