Solution

Ore: Ores are concentrations of minerals in rock that are high enough to be economically extracted for use.

Ores of Aluminum:

  • Silicates:
    Kaolin Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O
    Potash felspar K2O. Al2O3.6SiO2
    Potash mica K2O.3Al2O3.6SiO2.2H2O
  • Oxides:
    Bauxite Al2O3.nH2O
    Gibbisite Al2O3.3H3O
    Diaspore Al2O3.H2O
    Corundum Al2O3
  • Fluorides:
    Cryolite Na3AlF6
  • Sulphates:
    Alunite K2SO4.Al2(SO)3.4Al(OH)3

But Aluminum is mainly extracted from 'Bauxite' ore.

Ores of iron:

  • Hematite(Fe2O3)
  • Magnetite (Fe3O4)
  • Goethite (FeO(OH))
  • Limonite (FeO(OH).n(H20))
  • Siderite (FeCO3)

Hematite is used for extraction of iron.
