Questions about aluminum in electrolisis

[daniel3001]

if used aluminum as my anode, and graphite or any other metal as my cathode. could i run a low amp current through salt water and make alminum chloride (or any other alminum product)? in other words how quickly and is it possible to produce any aluminum products with electrolysis? i was just wondering ?

I don't know how safe electroylsis is of salt water with a low current is since you will probably be making chlorine gas along the way.
