Question:

what countries are in large demand of aluminum? Why?

what countries are in large demand of aluminum? Why?

Answer:

Those countries which consume a lot of aluminiumAluminium is primarily used in packages for food drinks, in airplane manufacture (because of its low density), in electrical power lines, in building construction where it is used as claddingThis would mean that aluminium is most in demand from First World countries (the USA, Canada, the UK, Germany etc) but also, increasingly from developing countries particularly China, India, Brazil MexicoStatistics indicate that demand for aluminium comes from China, North America, the UK, Europe and Japan (see second link)A very large proportion of used aluminium is recycled as its ability to crushed (being a soft metal), its low density (being easy to transport large volumes) its low melting point make it very practical to recycle.
Aluminum foil is ok; it may cause Alzheimers disease if melted, but you are not heating the foil to a high enough temperature to vaporize itHowever, do not use a torch or heavy butane lighter for smoking, that will definitely vaporize the aluminum foil.
