I'm trying to think of a way to take a piece of aluminum foil and chemical separate the atoms 1 by 1.
I was originally thinking of trying some sort of Electrolysis type reaction by turning the Aluminum into Aluminum Oxide... though I'm still searching for the chemical reaction/method to remove the oxide from the aluminum, resulting the Oxygen and Aluminum to split, therefor aluminum powder.
I know reversal of rust is possible with electrolysis but I'm not sure on the chemical reactions that take place.
Is there any chemical way of atomizing/pulverizing Aluminum or any other metals without grinding them?
