hello my friends,
im a new member and i need some greetings :)
i face a problem in recycling aluminum alloys, the Fe and Mg percentage is over range and i need to reduce them inorder to improve the mechanical properties.

welcome ramzy ... not easy ... I don't think there is a way ... certainly not one that would be sensible to use for recycling.
 
welcome too my friend, i think there is no thing you can call "impossible", i read about refining Aluminum by Hoopes method to get a very purity product, so we can refine Al from some Impurities.
