Claim 1
Independent Claim 127 words
A process for preparing aluminum hydrides which comprises: a. admixing an aluminum chloride reactant and magnesium hydride in an amount about stoichiometric of that required to react completely in the preparation of aluminum hydrides, said aluminum chloride being supplied from an aluminum chloride-sodium chloride-potassium chloride eutectic having a composition of about 66 mole per cent aluminum chloride, about 20 mole per cent sodium chloride and about 14 mole per cent potassium chloride, b. grinding said mixture in a ball mill for at least about 12 hours at about room temperature, c. extracting the solid product mixture with diethyl ether, d. separating the resulting ether extract from residual solids, and e. removing the diethyl ether from the ether extract thereby recovering aluminum hydrides from said diethyl ether extract.
