| − | Most smartphone display screens are made of aluminosilicate glass. This electrically conductive glass is composed of an oxide of silicon and aluminum with sodium ions dispersed throughout the surface. Some aluminosilicate glass is made stronger by immersing the glass in a bath of molten potassium salt at 400°C. This causes some sodium ions to be replaced by potassium ions. The potassium ions are compressed in the spaces between molecules in the glass. This makes the glass harder and more resistant to breakage, but less conductive.

| − | === Smartphone Recycling and Aluminum ===
| |
| − | A popular smartphone has a mass of 172 g and requires 10.32 g of aluminum to manufacture. Equation 1 represents a model of the overall chemical process used to obtain aluminum from the purified aluminum oxide.

| − | Some states are studying ways to require tech companies to build phones that follow clear repair and recycling standards. Recycling smartphones prevents contamination of land, water, and air, which could occur when smartphones are disposed of in a landfill. Recycling can also reduce the amount of raw materials mined and the energy used to manufacture new phones. Recycling is not always cost-effective because there are not enough valuable recyclable materials within a single smartphone. Although consumers prefer thinner smartphones, they are more challenging for recyclers to take apart. Larger phones tend to have longer battery life.
