Wöhler process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wöhler process was used in the production of aluminium. It involved the reduction of anhydrous aluminium chloride with potassium, and produced powdered aluminium.
In 1827, Friedrich Wöhler refined a process discovered by Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish chemist, who first produced impure aluminium in 1825. This allowed him to establish the specific gravity of aluminium in 1845.
