Question:

when aluminum reacts with the HCl to form hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride,?

how could i recover aluminum chloride?

Answer:

Let the aluminum all react so you have just a solution of AlCl3 in water along with some HCl that may remainEvaporate the solution and the HCl will also evaporate, leaving the solid aluminum chloride behindYou may need to heat the solution to get it completely dry.
