Aluminum is a lightweight, silver-colored, and malleable metal with the atomic number 13 and the chemical symbol Al. It is located in Group 13 and Period 3 of the periodic table. Aluminum is found in various mineral compounds, including bauxite (Al₂O₃-H₂O), corundum (Al₂O₃), cryolite (Na₃AlF₆), kaolinite (3Al₂O₃·6SiO₂·2H₂O), and alunite (K₂SO₄·Al₂(SO₄)₃·4Al(OH)₃). Aluminum is typically produced from bauxite ore. Faramin Asia Industrial and Mining Company offers comprehensive laboratory services for the analysis, mineralogy, and composition identification of aluminum ore samples.
