Aluminium Oxide ( what can I do with it)
Good morning everyone.
Due to my recent studies; and many many failed experiments in making a stable aluminum chlorohydrate. I now have 143.40g of aluminium oxide. I need
some suggestions in what I can do with it?

I just made you read this very pointless signature. How does it feel?

Catalyst or catalyst substrates, chromatography, filler, refractory, abrasive, ceramics...
Or make some Aluminum metal electrolytically.
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).

You could make some TLC plates from microscope slides if you need them. This link uses silica, but alumina can be substituted without issue.

LOL! Slightly outside the capacity envelope of most hobbyists, I feel...
There is in fact a chemical method of preparing Al (and I'm not talking Wohler's method). Can anyone guess?
Threadjacking, sorry!

I believe the trichloride can be reduced by a Hg amalgam of Na or K.

That works but I think he's referring to the electrolysis of anhydrous AlCl3 in an alcoholic solvent and producing an amalgam. This method
works with the rare earths according to Brauer.
[edit] oh, chemical method.

At the end of the day, simulating atoms doesn't beat working with the real things...

Reduction of AlF<sub>3</sub> with Mg in a thermite-style reaction is very exothermic. Working on it.

I may have to try that.
thanks everyone for the ideas.. I can't believe i types chloro chloro. Perhaps it's the chemist version of toro toro?
