The other post on this topic really didn't answer what I was looking for.
So I've got a pretty large amount of pyrolized/incinerated IC chips. My initial plan was to put some ash in a bucket and fill the bucket up, then tip off some ash, and do that until I was only left with the heavy stuff at the bottom, and clear water.
Then I read about the heavy metals (chromium, I believe) that is in the chips and in doing what I was planning, I'd be putting that into the ground only to be kicked up later in the wind and probably causing lung problems.
So that's not going to work.
I did some research and found that Geo made a sluice (his famous 'poop chute') but I don't really have the room for that.
To my question - How do people separate the ash from the bond wires? If I used water + gravity I'll be generating a LOT of water I need to evaporate off to keep the ash in one place, which I don't think is feasible. Further I don't think I can pan out this amount of ash. Dunno, I'm kind of stuck.
