Chlorates are powerful oxidizers and should be kept away from organics or easily oxidized materials. Mixtures of chlorate salts with virtually any combustible material (sugar, sawdust, charcoal, organic solvents, metals, etc.) will readily deflagrate. Chlorates were once widely used in pyrotechnics for this reason, though their use has fallen due to their instability.
This has been discussed on the forum previously, several times. I don't have a thread to point at right now, but maybe someone could find some of them.Platdigger said:Also, aren't there still gold bonding wires embedded in the chip body?"
And yes, I believe grinding and further leaching would prove it out.
