A little explanation from Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_smelting This explains a little on the smelting process and a little about the anode and carbon block. I can explain a little more if you want more. |

Basically the carbon blocks are the starting point in the process. There are two distinct process we have. One is the dark side, making of the carbon block and anode. The other the light side, is getting the alumina into the pots and melting it into aluminum.
We plan to punch out a few thousand blocks so the pot lines can set the carbon and be ready to turn on the juice in December. |
