Good day forum users.
I ask for advice.
1. Material - gray slag.
2. The handheld spectrometer shows the presence of elements, readings in the table.
3. It is impossible to do a complete spectral analysis for oxide and sulfate bonds, due to the problem - a high background radiation.
4. Treated the slag with sulfuric acid. Washed with water. The wet sediment showed little background radiation. After drying, the radiation background increased 10 times.
5. I ask for advice.
What are the possible processing options to separate the precious metals from the mother sludge. In the hope that radioactive material will remain in the waste sludge.
Thank you.
Best regards, Sergei
