Alumina can also be made from nepheline. Nepheline occurs in the form of apatite-nepheline rock (apatite is a calcium phosphorous oxide). The production process for making alumina from nepheline also by-produces soda, potash (a material used in construction, production of some chemicals, food industry etc.), and the rare metal gallium.
Plants producing metallurgical alumina from nepheline ores or other non-bauxitic sources (e.g.fly ash), which globally contribute less than 1% of production, are excluded due to processual and by-product differences and thus incomparability of energy intensities.
