Do you know for sure gallium does not work? I was looking to explore less toxic materials.
but I never read that there were substitutes

no not sure at all, i'm a noob

if someone else has other information should be nice to share it here as well.
no. it will doesn't work... "why ?"
cause what is the element used in this reaction, is the aluminum !
the works of the mercury it's to create a amalgam. and by this way take off the lay of "alumine (the natural oxidation from the air on aluminum")
-for others ways to a amine is :
*LiAlH4 (Lithium aluminum hydride), less toxic, pretty unstable/ hard to find.... easy if you are a professional cause is one of the easiest reduction.
*or the couple Zn/Ni but i have tried this method

I don’t know if you are aware but gallium forms amalgams with metals, including Al.Everything you said about Hg in the first paragraph can be applied to gallium.Please correct me if I’m wrong, anyone.
I read about liah, I don’t wanna work with it at the moment, too dangerous in my setting, And about Zn/Ni I dont know about at all, is there any info here? Thanks.
I do not close the flask at all, I just let the hydrogen escape and then simply do not smoke in time
Why do you want to close the flask?
put it at refluxoin
It is need to use in amph synthesis (look at manual topic!)what you guys thinks about it?
No, you should clean up your amalgam from acid (HNO3 is produced after Al+Hg(NO3)2 reaction).the rinses when water is used could affect the final yield?
Hg salt isn't dissolve in these solvents.Diogenes said, just discard the most water possible in 10 seconds and add the solvents and goods...then later in alkali acid purifications should go out the mercury..... im right?
What is it? Reflux condenser???

Hi Patton, I meant the Hg salt will remain in the discarded water phase, it`s solubility is very low in IPA. Rinsing is always recommended of course.
>it`s solubility is very low in IPA.
Hg salts immiscible with IPA. You can avoid rinsing. I got information that it has no influence on Hg in final product at all. One colleague made metal analysis for amphetamine and said that Hg there was 0.0003-0.0004 mg/kg.

I always look for industrial aluminum foils for thermal insulation, vapor barriers, sauna construction, roofing, etc. This is also usually 99.5% aluminum without coatings and is also much thicker (35-50µm) than the kitchen aluminum rolls. But there probably everyone has his own way of thinking.
man, to be honest , you should have a bit more of patience, and maybe dont think the people are stupid just because are asking something thah you know easily....
the other day i had to reformulate a question just because you think we all have to speak perfectly english..and every single person that readed it , for sure understood it.
those guys knows what they are doing, i suppose they eliminate mercury in alkali/acid steps. you say that mercury doesnt dissolve on those solvents, but, they just dont get rid of mercury? never? thats my original question
You are good person but here not a touristic place, here is chemical forum. I try to help you but I can't understand what do you want to say. It is a little bit harder than say of direction in a street.
