Sensei Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Contaminated by what exactly? By iron-containing compound? Mercury boiling point is just 356.7 C, so you could try to distill. If you're asking, you're layman, so it's rather not option for you You could contaminate entire area. By metallic iron? You could try magnet. Stainless steel is also iron. But usually it's not attracted by magnets. If iron chunks are macroscopic, you could try strainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
