However, nearly 20% of the emissions are from the production and degradation of the carbon anodes used during smelting. The conventional Hall–Héroult smelting process (invented in 1886) involves dissolving alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) in molten cryolite, and electrolyzing the molten salt bath, typically in a purpose-built cell with carbon electrodes.
