A chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13 is known as Aluminum (or Aluminum in American and Canadian English). Aluminum has a density that is around one third that of steel, which is lower than that of most common metals.
It has a strong affinity for oxygen, and when exposed to air, creates a protective oxide coating on the surface. Aluminum visually resembles silver due to similarities in color and light-reflecting properties. It is ductile, soft, and non-magnetic.
Aluminum is the twelfth most prevalent element in the universe based on the frequency of its one stable isotope, 27Al, which is also the only stable isotope. 26 Al’s radioactivity is utilized for radiodating.
Chemically speaking, Aluminum belongs to the boron group as a post-transition metal, and like other members of the group, it primarily forms compounds in the +3 oxidation state.
Small and strongly charged, the Aluminum cation Al3+ is polarizing and tends toward covalency in the bonds it forms. Due to its strong affinity for oxygen, Aluminum frequently coexists with oxygen in nature in the form of oxides.
As a result, Aluminum is more frequently found in rocks in the crust of the Earth than in the mantle and is almost never found as a free metal. It is the third most abundant element on Earth after oxygen and silicon.
The Nigeria Aluminum market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
The falling trend was ultimately reversed as the Nigerien Aluminum market increased to hit for the first time. But consumption increased significantly over the period under examination. The market reached its high but consumption stayed below that level through.
Production of Aluminum was increased in the past, according to export prices. Production, though, is still showing a modest growth overall. The manufacturing volume climbed, marking the year with the highest growth rate. The top three countries for Nigerian Aluminum exports were Japan , China and the Netherlands, which together accounted for quite a great number among all exports.
China recorded the highest rate of increase in terms of shipments among the major destination countries, while the other market leaders saw a fall.
With a combined share of total exports, Japan, China , and the Netherlands looked to be Nigeria’s top export destinations for Aluminum in value terms. China had the largest rate of growth in the value of exports among the major exporting nations during the period under consideration, while shipments had a CAGR
