Aluminum dross is presented as a potential material to form AlON using thermite reaction. The commercial MgAl powder, active carbon, and titania were prepared to make a chemical furnace (self-propagation combustion). The preheating temperature of 300°C is enough to intitate ignition of the mixture as fuel and oxidizer. The addition of Y_2O_3 (1wt. %) is effective to enhance solid solution products between Al_2O_3 and AlN in the Aluminum dross. The level of contamination like an alkali metal oxide in the Aluminum dross was reduced highly by the heat from chemical furnace.
