Realistic aluminium & chemistry

[wesleybruce]

You have basicly all of the ores and materials listed to do Aluminium realistically. I would suggest a super compact (unrealistically efficient) chemical plant. A freight container with tanks on each end, A tower tank on top and a settling pond on the back. Inputs salt, Fluorite, pumice/ clay, lime, coal, Aluminium. This would give you hydrochloridc acid, Hydrofluoric acid, graphite, sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide + bauxite = alumina. aluminium + fluorite + acid = Cryolite. Graphite plates + alumina + Cryolite + lots of power= aluminium. Most games don't do realistic aluminium. All products should be saleable with lots of safety warnings and special containers for the acids.
The same machine could take lime + clay + a little gypsum = cement.
There are other chemicals and plastics possible and it could make fuels.
It can also do your lithium from lithium rich clay. Elon's putting money into that in Utah.
I could knock up a crude model but I suspect there are far better modellers on hand.
