I've got some quicksilver that I liberated from some evacuated glass tubes
by cracking the tips of the tubes and then emptying the contents into a
container. Unfortunately, some tiny glass shards got into the container
and is now mixed in. How can I filter out the glass shards so they don't
cut up my esophagus when I drink it?
Ya sure ya ain't been *sniffing* it...????
Don't let them damn EPAnazis read this - there'll be a HazNat team camped
out for a year at the cordoned-off and domed-over hole in the ground what
used to be that building - of course now it's a SuperFund Site - our Tax
Dollars hard at work...
As for filtering Hg - just decant it slowly and carefully from one
container to another - you'll get most of it - then discard the remaining
residue in a Gummint Approved Fashion - lest you attract the Unwanted
Attention of Herr UberGeneral AshKrofft and his Modernische
ShutzStaffen...
