Aluminum amalgam is a chemical substance formed by a solution of aluminum with mercury. Aluminium amalgam may be prepared by either grinding aluminium pellets or wire in mercury, or by allowing aluminium wire to react with a solution of mercury(II) chloride in water. In Breaking Bad, aluminum amalgam is shown to be usually forgotten in methamphetamine cook sessions ("Box Cutter"). The cook sessions for Blue Sky utilize reductive amination of phenylacetone in the presence of methylamine and aluminum amalgam to yield methamphetamine.
