So, upon closer reading the article is about Aluminum Silicate, not Aluminum Oxide. And the process I'm describing is thermal decomposition... after looking here: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/139/3559/1055.short http://www.sciencemag.org/content/139/3559/1055.short and here: http://cnx.org/content/m24918/latest/ http://cnx.org/content/m24918/latest/ I find that Aluminum Silicate would most likely turn into a gas itself before I could extract the oxygen in my solar chamber... hence the need for the hydrofluoric acid to bind to the Aluminum... Sometimes I wonder why I dream at all.
