i want to use some mercury for recovering gold that i have. does anyone have any plans for something that i can build to safely boil away the mercury and let it condense back into the liquid away from my gold, but still keeping it contained, not letting any of it getting into the environment.
 
You need a mercury retort. Unless you have skills in machining, you'd be far better served to buy one than to make one yourself. It could spell the difference between life and death, or a miserable existence, assuming you got exposed to mercury vapors by using a home made device that didn't function properly. They're not complicated, but it's important that they seal and cool properly.
