They could just put it in sheet rock and sell it cheap to US contractors. Oh wait they already did that with the sulfuric acid.

Spread a rumor in China that this sludge is an aphrodisiac.  There will be a global shortage of it in no time.

IIRC cesium is refined by acidifying the the ore and recovering the cesium from the solution.  I wonder if they could do the same with the "sludge".

Brad

the cesium can be extracted.  The hard part is figuring out how to do it relatively cheaply.

And what flavor to make it before you put it in the energy drink. Cherry might be good.  ;)

LOL birdman; I love the "baby equivelents."  Sometime brimic or I will have to tell the story of using "triple times heavy thans" as a unit of density.

I'm not sure how it works into the calculations, but sludge should describe the activated carbon (Darco) containing suspension before being filter-pressed into "cake.*"

*turns out that unlike some science experiments, herein the cake is decidedly not a lie.
