Group 13 Chemistry II: Biological Aspects of Aluminum By Herbert W. RoeskyEnglish | PDF | 2002 | 208 Pages | ISBN : 3540438076 | 6.39 MB
Aluminum, bound almost exclusively to oxygen in various combinations, is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust and, therefore, of great commercial potential. Once methods were developed (in the 1880's) to free useable quantities of the element from oxygen, applications for the element began developing rapidly. This growth has resulted in the ubiquity of the metal in today's world. Therefore it can be found intentionally introduced in many products in direct contact with human beings.
