Talk:Hall–Héroult process

message: This section after the comment on Hydro-Electric power doesn't seem entirely NPOV, and probably should be under something like Hydro-Electric Power anyway:
"
Hydroelectric power plants kill hundreds of thousands of fish each year, and do not allow the fish to swim upstream to spawn. This creates a chain reaction which eventually destroys the forests directly surrounding the river
"
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 21:55, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: "Prior to the Hall–Héroult process, elemental aluminium was made by heating ore along with elemental sodium or potassium in a vacuum."
The citation in this section [3] describes two methods of producing aluminum.  Neither of which mention using a vacuum.  Neither process directly uses aluminum ore (although it could be argued that the second method uses ore indirectly).  The two methods are:
# Direct reaction of aluminum chloride with sodium metal at high temperature (as liquids/solids).
# Aluminum chloride vapor produced in one vessel (possibly from ore), sodium vapor is produced in another, and then they are reacted while still vapors in a third vessel.
The first of those processes is also described in the wikipedia pages for "Aluminum" and "History of Aluminum", but neither of these have any reference to use of a vacuum.  It is possible that this method is cited in another reference, but I cannot access most of them.  It could be that the other methods occur in a vacuum but do not say and the use of "ore" is just referencing it as an overall feedstock (though that makes the overall process unclear).  Or it could be a mistake.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaron Wallace (talk • contribs) 08:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:   Inconsistency with Source, Other Pages 

message: Notice my username.
The article spells the metal's name both in the American style ("aluminum") and the rest of the world's ("aluminium"). In my opinion, either is fine but a mixture of both is distracting. Since the main Wikipedia article uses "-ium" I think this one should, too. If nobody objects before I get back to this page I'll fix it up myself.

thread_title:  Ampere / it 

message: The punctuation mark between "Hall" and "Héroult" in the article title is incorrect; an n-dash (–) is used when instead a hyphen (-) should be used. I have updated all instances of this in the article body but do not have the necessary permissions to change the article title.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.153.186 (talk) 21:46, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
