[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 517378, member: 44"] While I agree stay away from using acids and yep I sure wouldn't recommend a potato retort, Mercury and Amalgam if handled with due care and common sense and with a properly constructed retort poses no danger to yourself or the environment. You don't need a professional, you don't need a degree in chemistry, you need common sense, you need to take care and you need a bit of PPE. A well constructed retort is the key to reclaiming your Mercury. I have the same kg of mercury I've had for years and no doubt will for many years to come. As for disposing of Mercury, yes if you no longer want it, but the stuff is too damn hard to come by. [/QUOTE]
