Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I've been here.
I've been stripping gold from electronics, mainly ceramic CPU's and gold fingers, with great success
but processing and refining has taken a back burner to work since mid last year.

Any who,
I've had 30+ pounds of ceramic CPU's sitting on hydrochloric/peroxide for several months.
I knew I would not be able to process the cpu's anytime soon so I covered the bucket with some filters
then put a box over the top of the bucket to hold the filter and further knock down fumes.

I have a little free time this weekend to process the cpu's but the filters, at some point, fell into
the solution, dissolved and has turned my solution to goo. The goo has my flakes trapped.
It basically looks liked yellow toilet paper that was ran through a blender.

What can I do to resolve this problem?

Thanks for any help!

filter the solids, dry them, incinerate them and dissolve whatever will dissolve in hcl/cl or AR.

I was so over thinking this.
That is a beautifully simple solution.

Thank you Geo!
