Questions about powdered aluminum
i have been using a blender to "powder" some aluminum, so i have very fine aluminum particles in suspension in water.
i was wondering a safe method to "dry" this so i can have dry aluminum powder.
right now i am just letting it settle in a 2L glass jar and decanting the water.
someone suggested that i dry this in an oven, but i am wary of aluminum actually drying, becomeing airborne, and igniting.
also this person suggested bioling it over an open flame, i think they want to kill me.
any help is appreciated. thanks

There are enough threads on this subject if you surf around.
