The only difference, a very minor one, was that the carbon anodes in Héroult's process were larger and less numerous than in Hall's technique. These two men, Hall and Héroult, were both born in 1863, and independently invented the aluminum production process in the same year, 1886, at the age of 23 years.

Hall-Heroult pots operate normally at a temperature in the order of 940°C to 980°C as a continuous fused salt electrolytic process: the metallic, liquid aluminium produced by the process is removed from time to time, and the alumina dissolved in the electrolytic bath that is consumed during the process is replenished from time to time.

A large amount of alumina has to be produced in order to produce aluminum in the Hall–Héroult process; it requires about 4 t of bauxite to produce 2 t of alumina and it takes almost 2 t of alumina to produce 1 t of aluminum metal. The two largest operating costs per ton of alumina in Bayer plants are bauxite and fuel.

The Hall-Héroult process is highly energy-intensive, accounting for around 40% of the total cost of aluminum production. Improvements in the Hall-Héroult process, such as the development of more efficient electrolytic cells and the use of renewable energy sources, have helped reduce the environmental impact of aluminum production.

On this day in 1886 Charles Martin Hall of Oberlin, Ohio, used an electrochemical process to make aluminum from aluminum oxide. Around the same time, Paul Héroult of Thury-Harcourt, France, independently discovered the same process. (In the photos, Hall is clean-shaven; Héroult is bearded.)
