Step-by-step explanation:

Aluminium Powder is made from Aluminium with the help of mechanical means. This powder is mainly used in paints, cosmetics, fingerprint powders, thermite, rocket fuels e.t.c.

Also, Aluminium Powder is insoluble in water and organic solvents. Therefore, when mixed in Ethanol it will form a suspension. The Aluminium Powder can therefore be easily separated by simple Filtration using Filter paper.
