Aluminum was a semiprecious metal before Hall’s discovery of this economical method to release it from its ore.

  • Hydropower in Central North Carolina: the Battle for the Yadkin
    Hydropower in Central North Carolina: The Battle for the Yadkin Eric Anderson Introduction Alcoa and North Carolina have been locked in a licensing dispute for the better part of a decade. At stake is control over a 38-mile segment of the Yadkin River, four dams, and the profits earned by selling the electricity generated by those dams. Alcoa is seeking renewal of its operating license for its four dams on the Yadkin River. In 1958, the Federal Power Commission granted Alcoa a 50-year operating license for the dams. At the time, Alcoa was a major employer in Stanly County where it operated an aluminum smelting complex. That smelting complex is now closed and Alcoa is no longer a major employer in North Carolina. The state does not support allowing Alcoa to operate these dams for 50 more years without substantial economic benefits flowing back to the people of North Carolina in return. The dispute raises issues of private property rights, ownership of submerged land, management of public waterways for the public benefit, and the obligations owed by private corporations to the public in exchange for the use of a public resource like the Yadkin River. This last issue is of particular significance when a corporation moves its operations from one location to another, yet continues to benefit from a public resource in its former location. This is the context in which the dispute between Alcoa and North Carolina arises. History of Yadkin Dams Alcoa began development of its Badin, NC operations in 1915 by purchasing an unfinished aluminum smelting complex.1 By 1917, a dam constructed over the Yadkin River adjacent to the Badin Works at a location known as the Narrows powered the aluminum 1 Alcoa-Yadkin History, ALCOA, http://www.alcoa.com/yadkin/en/info_page/history.asp (last visited Jan.

  • Chapter 57 – Smelter Wastes and Cleanups
    Chapter 57 Smelter wastes and cleanups The Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. plant site, like other heavy industrial sites, was impacted by the typical variety of hazardous chemicals used by maintenance and production personnel or created as a result of process operations. The large number of vehicles necessitated a maintenance garage and fuel tanks, some located underground, which over the years generated daily waste or spills that contained solvents, lubricants, diesel fuel and gasoline. The vast array of mechanical processing equipment – from crushers, shakers and feed belts to pollution-control equipment, casting equipment and overhead cranes – likewise required maintenance crews and repair facilities that generated similar waste over the years. The 600 reduction pots required periodic rebuilds over their lifespan. Equipment maintenance and process operations also were responsible for producing heavy metals. The large transformers and other electrical equipment were a source for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Asbestos was used to insulate exhaust fues and steam pipes, as well as a binder in roofng material and fooring tile. 1 In addition to the typical hazardous chemicals found at many industrial sites were the chemicals associated with the aluminum smelting process – including coal, coke and coal tar pitch used to make carbon paste briquettes and a source of emissions from open-topped Soderberg anodes; fuoride compounds used to make bath and emitted by reduction pots in pot gases or fugitive emissions in potrooms and by crushing and handling frozen bath; dross produced by casting furnaces and operations; and spent potliner created in cathode pot bottoms. Spent potliner at aluminum smelters consisted of refractory brick, cathode electrodes and carbon paste which contained various hazardous compounds created after years of pot use, including ammonia and cyanide.

The project is located on the Little Tennessee and Cheoah Rivers and is owned and operated by Alcoa Power Generating Inc. The Tapoco Project includes four developments - Santeetlah Development, Cheoah Development, Calderwood Development, and Chilhowee Development. The Tapoco Project extends along the Little Tennessee River from about River Mile 33 to just above RM 60, downstream of the Tennessee Valley Authority Fontana Dam. Chilhowee, Calderwood and Cheoah developments and Santeetlah Powerhouse are located on the Little Tennessee River. Santeetlah Dam and Reservoir are located on the Cheoah River, a tributary to the Little Tennessee River. The Project Boundary encompasses much of the Cheoah River corridor downstream of the Santeetlah Dam. Background USFWS Participation.

  • Marketing Modernism: Aluminum Cladding and the American Commercial Landscape
    © 2017 Tait Johnson MARKETING MODERNISM: ALUMINUM CLADDING AND THE AMERICAN COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE BY TAIT JOHNSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Peter Mortensen, Chair Associate Professor Kenny Cupers, University of Basel, Director of Research Professor Dianne Harris, University of Utah Associate Professor David O’Brien Associate Professor Terri Weissman ABSTRACT In the postwar United States, aluminum became more widely used than any other metal in building construction except for steel. It was first produced in the early nineteenth century, finding architectural uses in the latter part of the century. By the 1960s, it was broadly employed to clad buildings in the form of frames, panels and screens. Because it was a new and extensively useful material, producers believed that its identity must be controlled. Focusing on the marketing mechanisms of Alcoa, Reynolds and Kawneer in the decades surrounding World War II, this dissertation examines the way in which commercial aluminum cladding was marketed as both instrumental in modernization and an image of modernity. Producers claimed that aluminum possessed properties which they believed underpinned the agency of aluminum to enact specific advantages for buyers. Properties that were identified by promoters, such as its relative lightness, ductility and particular visual characteristics were marketed within the context of capitalism as the ability of aluminum to reduce building cost, increase profit and reflect beauty. In turn, these advantages were promoted as enacting prosperity for the buyer and the commercial districts in which aluminum cladding was deployed.
