Eh.
I'm talking about primary smelters, the ones that take bauxite as input.
You just can't. It'll ruin the chemical composition, the electolysers, you'll have to throw out (somehow, very expensive in itself) a lot of fluoride in various nasty forms, electrolyzer lining, electrodes, etc. This would cause weeks of delays and $ tens of millions lost.
It just can't be done. And it's never done unless a hydroelectric dam fails or something of that magnitude.
alcircle.com is just barely less insane. but just barely. Even NaK eutectic makes more sense.
