RE: Mercury resistant Aluminum
If someone has developed such an alloy, then it would be by using some form of barrier coating.

If there is some need to use aluminum in an Hg-containing environment, I suggest that the best barrier coating would be Micro arc oxide (MAO) aka Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) + PTFE copolymer + PTFE.
I.e., Keronite® + Teflon.®

As an engineer in Petrochem, the OP question had my alarm bells ringing too!
We recently spent some bucks installing mercury removal beds due to a feed slate change - we have several Al plate finned hX's that otherwise would have been compromised.
