Significance of cryolite in metallurgy of Aluminium ?
Hello ,
Role of Cryolite in Metallurgy of Aluminium is as follows :
Molecular Formula of Cryolite - Na3AlF6
Cryolite basically has two roles which are as follows :
1. To Decrease the melting point of the mixture from 2323 Kelvin to 1140 Kelvin
2. To Increase electrical conductivity of Al2O3 (Aluminium Oxide)
