I'm pretty sure that Chris knows things have changed since the 70s. Edit: He also has an incredible knack of explaining things in a manner that will be understood by the average man jack refiner.
This thread is one of a long line of threads asking technical details from the same author who as much as I like him would be best served nailing the basics and getting some results.
Understood, Jon. Mind you, I think Chris's book is one of the most accessible bits of practical refining ever written. Everyone here knows I wax theoretical and long-winded at best.
I agree it is easy to dissolve in 50/50 nitric/DI water, filter and cement, or even convert the chloride with sulfuric and nails.
Guess I'm just saying that if one does 100 lbs of CuAgZnNi braze with nitric then it's a legitimate concern over being legal and not contributing to poor air quality. One is addressed by taking more time, the other by pollution control.
I've done my share of stupid. GSP was there for some of it!
